Version 1: The first-pass program

# addRedDisk.py
# adds a disc in the middle of the image.
# The program measures the execution time of the function addRedDisk()
# and prints it on the screen.  The time is in seconds.

from time import time


# ==================================================================  
# distance()
# computes the distance squared between two points in 
# a cartesian system.
def distance( x1, y1, x2, y2 ):
  return sqrt( (x1-x2)*(x1-x2) + (y1-y2)*(y1-y2) )
  
# ==================================================================  
# addRedDisk: 
# adds a red disk to an image, located at center xCenter, yCenter,
# and with radius "radius"

          pixel = getPixel (image, x, y)
          setColor( pixel, makeColor( 255, 0, 0 ) )
  return image

Version 3: Squeezing some more Computation out of the Loop

        and distance2( x, y, xCenter, yCenter ) < radius2:
          pixel = getPixel (image, x, y)
          setColor( pixel, makeColor( 255, 0, 0 ) )
  return image
