High Quality Hardware Line Antialiasing
Scott R. Nelson · Journal of Graphics Tools · 1997
The graphics community has understood line antialiasing reasonably well for many years. Many papers have dealt with the subject, but none of them have offered a complete solution. This paper explains all of the details of a wellbehaved hardware algorithm used in the SparcStation ZX that, although imperfect, works very well in practice. The paper discusses trade-offs at each point and the reasoning that went into the decisions that were made.
