Antialiasing

Antialiasing is a technique used in digital images and graphics to reduce the jagged edges that can appear on curved or diagonal lines. When images are displayed on screens, the grid of pixels can create a stair-step effect on these edges, making them look less smooth. Antialiasing works by blending colors at the edges, creating a gradient that softens the transition between the line and the background. This results in a more visually pleasing and realistic appearance, enhancing overall image quality and clarity, especially in graphics, fonts, and animations.
