Anti-aliasing algorithms

Anti-aliasing algorithms are techniques used in digital graphics to reduce the jagged, stair-step edges that appear when displaying images or shapes on pixel-based screens. By smoothing the transition between colors at the edges, these algorithms create the illusion of more natural, curved lines and detailed images. They work by blending or adjusting the colors of nearby pixels, making edges appear softer and more realistic. Common methods include supersampling, multisampling, and FXAA, each balancing quality and performance to improve visual clarity without demanding excessive processing power.
