Remarks

When multisampling is enabled, all subsamples of a pixel are updated in one pass. However, when subsamples are used for other effects that involve multiple rendering passes, the application can specify that only some of them be affected by a given rendering pass. This latter approach enables simulation of motion blur, depth-of-field focus effects, reflection blur, and other effects.

In addition to enabling full-scene multisampling when a Reset of a Device occurs, there are render states that turn various multisampling aspects on and off at fine-grained levels. For more information, see RenderStateManager.

Multisampling is valid only on a swap chain that is created or reset with the Discard method of a SwapEffect.

The multisampling antialiasing value can be set with the parameters or sub-parameters in the following methods.
