2Ddrawellipse()

Read, use, enjoy! (I haven't tried your version yet, Gernot, you've been quicker than me.)
I'm surprised that the plotting with alpha seems to take much longer than the calculations and area scanning.
Any idea to improve that?

Very nice!  :good:

In OpenGL in general switching the drawing state too regularly is to be avoided as its a slow operation. So if you could move ALPHAMODE outside of your loops, it may be quicker. Also, I have found that doing some OpenGL inline can be a bit quicker too as you have more control over the low level drawing operations. As mentioned by Fuzzy70, MEM2SPRITE can also be a good way to draw lots of pixels fast.
Cheers,
