Print symmetric double triangle pattern

Given a value n, we need to print the following pattern accordingly, using only constant extra space.
Examples: 
 

Input : n = 1
Output : x

Input : n = 2
Output :  
 x 
x x 
 x 

Input: n = 5
Output:
    x                                   
     x 
    o x 
     o x 
x o x o x 
 x o 
  x o 
   x 
    x 

Input: n = 6
Output:
     x 
      x 
     o x 
      o x 
     x o x 
x o x x o x 
 x o x 
  x o 
   x o 
    x 
     x

Input : n = 7;
Output :
      x 
       x 
      o x 
       o x 
      x o x 
       x o x 
x o x o x o x 
 x o x 
  x o x 
   x o 
    x o 
     x 
      x 

Input : n = 8;
Output : 
       x 
        x 
       o x 
        o x 
       x o x 
        x o x 
       o x o x

  x o x

We can divide this problem into 3 parts: 
1) Print upper half with n-1 lines for odd n or n-2 lines for even n. 
2) Print middle lines, 1 line for odd n or 3 lines for even n. 
3) Print lower half, with n-1 lines for odd n or n-2 lines for even n. 
For such complex patterns it may be easier if we can use 1-based indexing 
and separate functions to print characters beginning with x or o.

Time Complexity: O(N^2)

Auxiliary Space: O(1) because it is using constant space for variables
