The image didn’t show up, but you’re probably seeing the effects of subpixel antialiasing, which uses the relative positions of the R, G and B subcomponents of an LCD pixel to increase apparent horizontal resolution. Another issue that’s probably exacerbating the distortion is that, if you’re drawing 1-pixel wide lines [or any odd integer width] you should offset their x and y coords by 0.5 to ensure that, if horizontal/vertical or nearly so, the lines end up entirely within a pixel instead of split between two pixels, which will smear them. (The reason for this is that the pixels are in between integer grid coordinates, so the pixel centers are at 0.5, 1.5, 2.5, etc.) —Jens_______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
