    I have the following code with me. But sometimes it won't give me correct points

    public static Point[] PointsAlongLine(Point start, Point end, int spacing) {
    int xDifference = end.x - start.x;
    int yDifference = end.y - start.y;
    int absoluteXdifference = Math.abs(start.x - end.x);
    int absoluteYdifference = Math.abs(start.y - end.y);

    int lineLength = (int)Math.sqrt((Math.pow(absoluteXdifference, 2) + Math.pow(absoluteYdifference, 2))); //pythagoras
    int steps = lineLength / spacing;
    int xStep = xDifference / steps;
    int yStep = yDifference / steps;

    Point[] result = new Point[steps+1];

    for (int i = 0; i < steps; i++) {
    int x = start.x + (xStep * i);
    int y = start.y + (yStep * i);
    result[i] = new Point(x, y);
    }
    result[steps]=end;
    return result;
    }

    Can you post the results of the program and explain what is wrong with them and show what the results should be?
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.
