/*!
 * \brief Bresenham line algorithm.
 *
 * Draws a line from <i>x1,y1</i> to <i>x2,y2</i> using Bresenham's
 * algorithm. A routine to plot points must be provided, as is defined
 * as: point(x, y) plot a point at x,y.
 *
 * This routine does not require a previous call to G_setup_plot() to
 * function correctly, and is independent of all following routines.
 *
 * \param x0,y0 first point
 * \param x1,y1 end point
 * \param point pointer to point plotting function
