Hi Peter,

No, not really. If you want, you can work around it. You can use the picture as bitmap for the area of a polygon. In detail: Insert the picture in draw. Modify > Convert > To Contour. Format > Area > Area; uncheck 'AutoFit' and uncheck 'Original'. Copy to clipboard. In Writer paste special as 'Drawing format'. Enlarge it to the desired size. Kontextmenu > Area > Area; set size to proper cm. It seems that the area of drawing objects are shown without anti-aliasing.

Very interesting and I'll look into it a little later. For now I've created a small document that demonstrates the problems I've encountered and I would be obliged if you could spare a little time to peruse it. I only ask so as to help me form a judgement as to whether there is an issue to be raised.

There are the opposite aim. People want that drawings are anti-aliased, when they are shown in impress

or printed

I don't found an issue with the aim to show pictures in original on screen. But for the purpose of screenshots, icon-pictures or technical drawings it seems useful to me, to have such an option. To have it as choice for the user is mentioned in issue 4748, but it is not the main aim there. Perhaps a new issue is better.

I really know no setting, to prevent OOo from anti-aliasing pictures on screen:( As long as you use the same dpi for your screen as the value is set in the picture the result is satisfactory. But the screen dpi varies wide, I've got 120 dpi for example and the icon pictures look ugly here. If I resize it 0,55cm (=26pixel/120dpi), the appearance is OK.

If you make screenshots showing toolbars, you get better results, if you use large icons and set OOo to 130% scaling in Tools > Options, instead of enlarging the pictures later.

PS: Do you have noticed, that the display options "Fremdgrafiken andeuten", "Umrissmodus", "Text andeuten", and "Nur Haarlinien anzeigen" have been dropped from OOo and the chapter "View Options" can be deleted for OOo2.4?

kind regards
Regina
