That's alright, I have an answer for you anyway. Try rotating the display 45 degrees - the spatial frequency response of the human eye has a hexagonal pass characteristic, so you have best resolution of vertical and horizontal lines, and lower resolution at 45 degree angles. ;-)
This characteristic of vision is why old woodblock prints tend to look better than modern equivalents - the old artists would use a hexagonal grid for half-toning when carving their images, rather than the rectangular grid used today. JPEG and other image compressions could also achieve an additional 20-30% compression at the same quality if they used a hexagonal sampling grid. on 3/25/02 8:15 PM, Timothy Bates at [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Sorry to send this to the wrong list - it was intended for a cocoa-related > list. > tim > > On 26/3/02 2:49 PM, "Timothy Bates" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> One problem with the new anti-aliasing is that you can;t watch the cursor >> move >> As to the readability of text, I think it is decreased, but I have very good >> high-spatial frequency vision, so I see the blur. -- Eric Hildum -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.letterrip.com/> old-archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/>
