try rendering an image (with diagonal objects) with anti aliasing turned off and then again with aa turned on and look at the difference

[Mr T]

It's a way of mathematically scaling a bitmap image to increase it's size.

I thought it ws smoothing off the pixels in an image to "sharpen" the resulting image created from the rendering process?

so did I....

Aliasing is the staircase effect at the edge of a line or area of color when it's displayed by an array of discrete pixels.

Antialiasing smoothes the staircase effect that occurs when diagonal or curved lines or borders are drawn on raster displays consisting of square or rectangular pixels.
