In digital typography, the manipulation of gray levels around the edges of a letterform to minimize its jagged appearance when shown on-screen or output at low resolutions.
Softening of the jagged edges in images that have become aliased.
A smoothing of the edges in a rastor image. While anti-aliasing can make the edges of objects fuzzy, it is generally preferable to the "stair stepping" apearance that occurs without it.
Available for the Text Tool. Anti-alias softens the jagged edges, using different shades of the text's color. It is only available for for color depths greater than 256 and 256 grey scale.
A process that eliminates the jagged edge on a line generated by a vector game.
A method of blurring and hiding the "stair-stepping" seen in diagonal lines. Requires additional computations, slowing rendering down somewhat.
Smoothing the jagged edges of shapes and text.
CDE Style Guide: Visual Design: A technique employed to smooth the "stair-stepped" appearance of pixel graphics that include curved or diagonal lines.
A graphic design term used when referring to digital typography. When you anti-alias text, you minimize the jagged edges of the letters to make them smooth on screen and when printed.
PIE function that smooths the edges of text or reduces the stair-stepping of an image where individual pixels are visible. It gives it a more professionally printed look.
The blending of pixel colours on the perimeter of hard-edged shapes, like type, to smooth undesirable jagged edges.
The blending of pixel colors on the perimeter of hard-edged shapes, like type, to smooth undesirable edges (jaggies).
A feature found in both fractal and art programs that "smoothes" the pixels to create more even and less jagged lines.
