[Pixman] [PATCH 04/14] demos/scale: Compute filter size using boundary of xformed ellipse

[Søren Sandmann Pedersen]

From: Bill Spitzak <spitzak at gmail.com>

Instead of using the boundary of xformed rectangle, use the boundary
of xformed ellipse. This is much more accurate and less blurry. In
particular the filtering does not change as the image is rotated.

+/* Figure out the boundary of a diameter=1 circle transformed into an ellipse
+ * by trans. Proof that this is the correct calculation:
+ *
+ * Transform x,y to u,v by this matrix calculation:
+ *
+ *  |u|   |a c| |x|
+ *  |v| = |b d|*|y|
+ *
+ * Horizontal component:
+ *
+ *  u = ax+cy (1)
+ *
+ * For each x,y on a radius-1 circle (p is angle to the point):
+ *
+ *  x^2+y^2 = 1
+ *  x = cos(p)
+ *  y = sin(p)
+ *  dx/dp = -sin(p) = -y
+ *  dy/dp = cos(p) = x
+ *
+ * Figure out derivative of (1) relative to p:
+ *
+ *  du/dp = a(dx/dp) + c(dy/dp)
+ *        = -ay + cx
+ *
+ * The min and max u are when du/dp is zero:
+ *
+ *  -ay + cx = 0
+ *  cx = ay
+ *  c = ay/x  (2)
+ *  y = cx/a  (3)
+ *
+ * Substitute (2) into (1) and simplify:
+ *
+ *  u = ax + ay^2/x
+ *    = a(x^2+y^2)/x
+ *    = a/x (because x^2+y^2 = 1)
+ *  x = a/u (4)
+ *
+ * Substitute (4) into (3) and simplify:
+ *
+ *  y = c(a/u)/a
+ *  y = c/u (5)
+ *
+ * Square (4) and (5) and add:
+ *
+ *  x^2+y^2 = (a^2+c^2)/u^2
+ *
+ * But x^2+y^2 is 1:
+ *
+ *  1 = (a^2+c^2)/u^2
+ *  u^2 = a^2+c^2
+ *  u = hypot(a,c)
+ *
+ * Similarily the max/min of v is at:
+ *
+ *  v = hypot(b,d)
