Anti-aliased decorations!

Recommended Posts

I have been looking for a way to generate perfect antialiased circles that I can programmatically manipulate (position, radius, color).

Seems like a simple enough goal but is not very easy to do unless you want to jump into the 3D picture control api and generate meshes for every anti-aliased primitive you want.  Finally I found that the silver gauge control has some ultra cool antialiased circular decorations that can be

used for this purpose.  I am attaching an example to demonstrate.  It would be really nice if the decoration palatte would get some native anti-aliased primitives and of course it would be extra nice if the picture control would also get anti-aliased as well.  Actually I think the holy grail would be a 2D version of the 3D picture control.

 

BTW, you can use the xy graph to draw antialiased circles but they always look a bit bumpy.
