[PD] Gem newbee question/antialiasing of edges on "boxes"

[Cyrille Henry]

hello,
if you use a nvidia GPU, you can set antialiasing on the rendering using a FSAA message to gemwin (see gemwin help), before window creation.
if you use nvidia or amd gpu, you can force the antialiasing using drivers configuration tools (if available on your os)
whatever gpu you are using, you can set per primitive antialiasing using the polygon_smooth object after a gemhead

on my experience, this last option can be slower than the 1st one.

cheers
