| description | In accordance with the present invention, a program storage device readable by machine, tangibly embodying a program of instructions executable by the machine to perform method steps for creating anti-aliased images and/or a method for creating anti-aliased images includes the steps of providing a subject to be rendered, defining an output resolution of a complete image to be generated by rendering the subject, dividing the complete image into a number of image portions, the number of image portions being determined by an anti-aliasing quality, each image portion having a number of pixels determined by the output resolution of the complete image and the number of image portions, processing the complete image by traversing the subject multiple times to create an intermediate image for each image portion, the intermediate image having a greater number of pixels than the image portion, determining each pixel within the image portion by averaging over blocks of pixels in the intermediate image and combining the image portions to generate the complete anti-aliased image with the output resolution. A system for creating the image is also included. |
