When a result of a comparison is validated, it entails copying coordinates of a point of lower coordinates of the connection in point of higher coordinates of the connection. It then erases the coordinate memory at the safe beginning point if it has been identified like being a point origin of a right segment. Thus the point Pa (i-1,j-1) is verified as a point contour among four points Pa,Pb,Pc,Pd...
