More Information
Summary:Techniques are disclosed for producing an anti-aliasing effect in the rendering of graphical elements defined based on one or more mathematical functions. In various embodiments an example method may include defining a shape based on one or more functions. A view of the shape is then rendered which includes generating a plurality of fragments corresponding to pixels in a display device through which the view will be displayed. Transparency values are set for fragments corresponding to a boundary of the shape based on the one or more functions defining the shape. The transparency values set for the fragments corresponding to the boundary of the shape result in an anti-aliasing effect when the view of the shape is displayed via the display device.
