Jargon term for curved lines that have a stepped or saw-tooth appearance on a display device.
A slang term used to describe the stair-step effect you see along curves and edges in text or bit-mapped graphics. Antialiasing can smooth out jaggies.
An undesirable condition in which the edges of an image or text have a stair-stepped, or jagged appearance.
Occurs when bitmapped images are displayed on a low-resolution monitor, or printed on a low-resolution printer, or when the image is enlarged. Anti-aliasing techniques can alleviate the problem.
See aliasing.
Jagged edges or lines; unsmooth caused by the limitation of pixel size in digital printing.
A jagged look of an image or type that happens when the resolution is inadequate or when images have been increased. The square pixels that make up the image are then visable to the naked eye. Also called aliasing.
A colloquial term for the jagged edges formed on raster-scan displays when displaying diagonal lines. to top
Is an undesirable video effect where stair or step-like lines appear where there should be smooth lines.
Artifacts of aliased rendering. The edges of primitives that are rendered with aliasing are jagged rather than smooth. A near-horizontal aliased line, for example, is rendered as a set of horizontal lines on adjacent pixel rows rather than as a smooth, continuous line.
The stair-stepping effects that can be seen in curves and diagonal lines when a picture's resolution is too low and individual pixels begin to show in the image.
The stair-like appearance of diagonal lines.
The jagged edges on type and bitmapped graphics formed on a raster device such as a display monitor or laser printer.
The jagged stepped effect often seen in images whose resolutions are so low that individual pixels are visible.
Slang for an aliasing effect. See also Alias, Anti-Alias.
Digital Video: A term used to describe the stair-stepped appearance of a curved or angled line in digital imaging. The smaller the pixels, and the greater their number the less apparent the "jaggies". Also known as Pixelization.
Thin diagonal lines on computer screens betray the graphics system's limited resolution by showing a "stair step" effect. These jagged lines are known as jaggies and can be solved by means of Anti Aliasing.
Also known as Aliasing. A term for the jagged visual appearance of lines and shapes in raster pictures that results from producing graphics on a grid format. This effect can be reduced by increasing the sample rate in scan conversion.
Ragged edges on slanted or curved lines, or on boundaries between colors made using a computer.
a.k.a. pixelization. Term for the stair-stepped appearance of a curved or angled line in digital imaging. The smaller the pixels and the greater their number, the less apparent the "jaggies".
When the edges of an image or text have a hagged appearance. This can be caused by the image/font not being provided to the printer, an image being lo-resolution instead of hi-resolution, or an image being the wrong format.
The effect caused by images or lines being rendered at too low a resolution. It can easily be defined as a stair-stepped effect giving the line or image a rough appearance. By increasing the resolution, we can reduce the stair-stepped effect. It is important to remember though that once an image has been saved at a lower resolution it cannot be "rezzed up" to a higher resolution. The resolution will in fact increase, but the quality of the image will not.
This is a slang term referring to the jagged pixellization effect that occurs in digital imaging.
Slang term for the stair-stepped appearance of a curved or angled line in digital imaging, also known as Aliased. The smaller the pixels, and the greater their number the less apparent the jaggies. Also known as pixelization.
The informal name for aliasing (visual stair-stepping) in raster images that occurs when the resolution is too low.
the stair step-like distortion of text or an image, usually caused by enlarging or inadequate resolution of a display monitor or printer. A variety of graphics and paint programs may be used to “repair†jaggies.
n. The "stairsteps" that appear in diagonal lines and curves drawn at low resolutions in computer graphics. Also called aliasing.
"Jaggies" is the informal name for aliasing artifacts in raster images, often caused by non-linear mixing effects producing high-frequency components and/or missing or poor anti-aliasing filtering prior to sampling.
