Hello,

I discovered that the Ubuntu 7.10 version of doxygen generates much
nicer call graphs. They are antialiased (arrows and texts).

After some research I discovered that the Debian patch
debian/patches/gd-renderer.dpatch is the source of the problem.

I installed graphviz-doc and did:
$ cd /usr/share/doc/graphviz/examples/graphs/directed/
$ dot clust.dot -Tpng:gd -o /tmp/a.png
$ dot clust.dot -Tpng -o /tmp/b.png

Doxygen (with the patch) is using -Tpng:gd and antialiasing is not done
(or disabled or not supported by gd).
The image b.png (without the patch) is much nicer than the image a.png
(with the Debian patch applied)

I have no idea what this debian/patches/gd-renderer.dpatch patch is
doing. The comment:
# DP: Avoid large images by using the gd renderer.
is not really informative. My graphs are not smaller with the patch.
They are just less nice :-(

Can you remove this patch? Or do an equivalent without disabling the
antialiasing?

Thanks
