Syntax

'Declaration
Public Property AntiAliased As Boolean
'Usage
Dim instance As DrawingAttributes 
Dim value As Boolean 

value = instance.AntiAliased

instance.AntiAliased = value

public bool AntiAliased { get; set; }

public:
property bool AntiAliased {
    bool get ();
    void set (bool value);
}

public function get AntiAliased () : boolean 
public function set AntiAliased (value : boolean)

Property Value

Type: System.Boolean
true if the stroke is antialiased; otherwise, false.

Remarks

If a stroke is antialiased, the foreground and background colors along the edge of the ink are blended to increase the visible smoothness.

Antialiasing improves the quality of rendering by making ink appear smoother and sharper, especially on lower resolution displays. However, antialiasing incurs added performance. Use it judiciously.

Examples

This C# example contains a menu handler to toggle antialiasing on and off.

using Microsoft.Ink;
//...
    private System.Windows.Forms.MenuItem menuInkAntialias;
    private InkCollector theInkCollector;
//...
    private void menuInkAntialias_Click(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
    {
        menuInkAntialias.Checked = !menuInkAntialias.Checked;
        theInkCollector.DefaultDrawingAttributes.AntiAliased =
            menuInkAntialias.Checked;
        Refresh();
    }
