Processing 2.0a5 / JS Antialiasing hint(ENABLE_OPENGL_4X_SMOOTH); not working

in Core Library Questions • 1 year ago

Hello,

im trying to smooth my graphics in the processing 2.0a5 version for JAVASCRIPT and STANDARD.

i've read this post https://forum.processing.org/topic/smoothing-antialiasing-in-processingjs

and this change for the JAVASCRIPT version did help

gl = canvas.getContext(ctxNames[i]);

im wondering if there are more options of smoothing

the STANDARD version looks worse than the WEB version. smooth() doesnt do anything and the hint(ENABLE_OPENGL_4X_SMOOTH); throws an error

"cannot find anything named "ENABLE_OPENGL_4X_SMOOTH"

i basically draw triangles in 3d that rotate. im using a orthographic projection.

for some reasons there are some angles where the shapes are perfectly smooth. different angles of the triangles that result in the same 2D shape are very edgy …

would be interesting to understand why?

im happy about tips and suggestions

thanks

In the standard mode, use smooth(level), with level equal to the anti-aliasing level you want to use (2, 4, 8, etc, as long as it is supported by the hardware).

Hey, thanks!

I guess the problem with the sharp positions is just that some lines are in perfect 45°.

Those are quite nice, everything else kinda rough.

But thats probably the way it is.
