Anti-Aliasing

Circles still look kind of jagged. Any idea why?

Could you post a screenshot? They look fine for me.

Here's a magnified image. As you can see, there's no anti-aliasing, it's not blurred at all. Maybe it's not vector?

Is this from Sketcher? Mine "dot" is bit blurred, but it's not perfect AA indeed.

The occurrence of the word "bitmaps" on line 3827 of ViewProviderSketch.cpp seems to point to the likely culprit:

Code: Select all

    edit->PointSet->markerIndex = Gui::Inventor::MarkerBitmaps::getMarkerIndex("CIRCLE_FILLED", edit->MarkerSize);

I'd guess that vertices are bitmaps in Inventor, based on this snippet. I have no idea if that can be addressed.

Yeah, the issue seems to be the raster graphics
https://github.com/FreeCAD/FreeCAD/blob ... itmaps.cpp

So it first should be converted to SVG and then scaled according to DPI as it's done for cursors: https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic.php?&t=48719

After that, anti-aliasing could be applied, as it can't be applied to raster images.

But it's a bit complicated since SoMarkerSet is a part of Coin/Inventor API

Would this help : Add marker from SVG ?

The marker in your magnified image was so ugly that I had do something about it...

It only tweaks the pixels in the bitmaps though.
