Quote: Some good definitions from Wikipedia:
"anti-aliasing is the technique of minimizing aliasing (jagged or blocky patterns) when representing a high-resolution signal at a lower resolution."
"Dithering is a technique used in computer graphics to create the illusion of color depth in images with a limited color palette (color quantization)."
Better definition:
anti-aliasing is applying a technique of minimizing aliasing (jagged or blocky patterns)... stop
To smooth out jagged lines and curves in a picture.
Method of techniques: (follows)
Filling in spaces between jagged areas with colors aproximately half way between foreground object pixel color and background (or background object - object behind the fore object) pixel color. [Or approximating the closet color that matches the blend - subjectively]
Dithering: Is using a technique to smooth shade gradients.
Eg. Think checkerboard-like patterns of shade 1 and shade 2.
Whatever you guys like to describe, the quality of anti-aliasing and dithering is the effect attempting to achieve.
There is also interlace dithering (technique of using image 1 and image 2 and flickering them back and forth to increase the effect of more color but there is a slight displacement between image 1 & 2 by [half-pixel] and it is basically applying the checker pattern when viewing image 1 as odd pixels and image 2 as even pixel of a 640x200 image. Even though at any one time, you really viewing 320x200 pixels. You can use a zero pixel offset and the pixel just over draw on top of each other and you get a flickery mixture.

Just when you thought the place is halfway clean of lowlife nerds, Wildstar comes along and starts educating an already very educated crowd with his mumblings...
Please, stick to the C= newsgroups where everyone has you in his killfile already! |
