New Features

Two PostScript operators, new since OPENSTEP 4.2 (NeXT), enable antialiased rendering on a per-context basis:

boolean setantialias -
When set to true, setantialias invokes an antialiasing algorithm for marking on a display device. This algorithm is computationally more expensive that the standard PostScript algorithm, but results in greater legibility and smoother appearance on low-resolution display devices. Similarly to setstrokeadjust, the current value of setantialias is stored in the graphics state.
 
When setantialias is active, the behavior of vector-drawing operations changes so that any partial pixel coverage produces a translucent result approximating the desired result. The default setantialias value for window devices is false.
 
- currentantialias boolean
The currentantialias operator returns a boolean value that indicates whether antialiasing is active for the current graphics state.
