antialiasing

I am using jQuery to fade in and out a .png images of links on the home page of http://www.logandwight.com In IE7 and IE8 the text have no anti-aliasing and are all boxy. I've tried messing with the opacity settings and then I tried animating the filter property specifically for IE but nothing seems to work. Does anyone know whats wrong? This is an inherent problem with IE, transparency, and opacity. Unfortunately there's no good work around while animating...in this situation I just disable animations for IE users. Maybe IE9 will finally do something about this? sIFR might be a possible cross

I have downloaded a font that looks less than desirable if it is not anti-aliased. I can not figure out how to enable anti-aliasing in VS, I have changed the 'Smooth Edges of Screen Fonts' in the system performance options but that does not seem to help. VS2008 on XP SP3. What am I missing? Try using ClearType, not Standard font smoothing. It's in Display properties, Appearance, Effects. In Windows 7: Control Panel | Display | Adjust ClearType text This starts a 4-step calibration process. Could it be a problem with the color combination? Some fonts look really ugly on high contrast

I'm using a custom pixel font on the iPad SDK, and I'm trying to find a way to disable font anti-aliasing for UIFont. Pixel fonts usually work best when they don't have Anti-aliasing. I disable it easily in Photoshop when I create static resources, but this time I need a dynamic output with the custom font. Any ideas if this is even possible? Thanks. Something like this might work if you are subclassing a UILabel or similar: -(void) drawRect:(CGRect)r { CGContextRef context = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext(); CGContextSaveGState( context ); CGContextSetShouldSmoothFonts( context , false ); [super

I'm using these function calls: glEnable(GL_BLEND) glEnable(GL_POLYGON_SMOOTH) glBlendFunc(GL_SRC_ALPHA_SATURATE, GL_ONE) It doesn't work and won't render. glEnable(GL_BLEND) glEnable(GL_POLYGON_SMOOTH) glBlendFunc(GL_SRC_ALPHA, GL_ONE_MINUS_SRC_ALPHA) It doesn't anti-alias. Try glHint(GL_POLYGON_SMOOTH_HINT, GL_NICEST) This is a mundane answer.. but if you want rounded corners, you'll probably want to use more more vertices at the corners and place them for a more rounded shape. You could also look into doing this procedurally.. but if you're doing a game and you want to get it finish, I'd

I am new to javafx, and I'm programming a game using its rendering functions, specifically, GraphicsContext.fillArc() and the like in eclipse. This is my current code: BorderPane root = new BorderPane(); Scene scene = new Scene(root, 400, 400); primaryStage.setScene(scene); scene.getStylesheets() .add(getClass().getResource("application.css").toExternalForm()); Canvas canvas = new Canvas(400, 400); root.getChildren().add(canvas); GraphicsContext gc = canvas.getGraphicsContext2D(); new AnimationTimer() { public void handle(long currentNanoTime) { gc.setFill(Color.BLUE); gc.fillArc(150, 150, 100

On an NVIDIA card I can perform full scene anti-aliasing using the accumulation buffer something like this: if(m_antialias) { glClear(GL_ACCUM_BUFFER_BIT); for(int j = 0; j < antialiasing; j++) { accPerspective(m_camera.FieldOfView(), // Vertical field of view in degrees. aspectratio, // The aspect ratio. 20., // Near clipping 1000., JITTER[antialiasing][j].X(), JITTER[antialiasing][j].Y(), 0.0, 0.0, 1.0); m_camera.gluLookAt(); ActualDraw(); glAccum(GL_ACCUM, float(1.0 / antialiasing)); glDrawBuffer(GL_FRONT); glAccum(GL_RETURN, float(antialiasing) / (j + 1)); glDrawBuffer(GL_BACK); } glAccum
