Unfortunately, this is quite true, and relates to the same issue mentioned by Richard Gaskin the other day: > The difference between a true Bezier object and emulating Beziers with > polygons is resolution.

Currently, the point system of LiveCode's default graphics is based on full 1-pixel units, which limits the degree of subtlety that can be applied to a graphic. Until the "shape" object materializes and/or bezier curves, it isn't possible to create a graphic with smooth articulated curves that scales well to any size. And even then, only LiveCode 8 and later will be able to take advantage of it. For the moment, one workaround is to display a graphic at a large size, snapshot it as an image, and reduce the image down using "good" or "best" resizeQuality. While this can make for a decent looking object, it defeats the purpose of using a graphic in the first place.
