This really isn't a FreeBSD related question, but... Anti-aliasing (the simplest easiest to understand way I can think of putting it anyway) comes down to slightly blurring the sharp edges of an object in an image so that they appear smooth.

If you have further questions, feel free to ask me off the list and I'll provide a more detailed definition with examples. -Mark To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
