To me, the answer to the actual question is so obviously "no", that I was almost confused. It's as though someone asked me, "which direction is the floor?" Anything that easy must have a trick. So I though maybe it was related to "points" meaning actual rasterized pixels on the screen. The you get the slightly counter-intuitive result that the diagonal line actual has the same number of pixels as the vertical line, and thus will produce the same density of points on the circumference. However, this line of reasoning would require that we know the lines are far enough apart that they don't overlap pixels.
