I have some 16-bit unsigned X-ray CT data. I have taken a slice through the
data at odd orientations using "map to plane." I have been trying to look at
some of the finer features but they appear to have an "anti-aliased" margin
on them. I tested this by making a colour map with only two colours (red and
blue) and the red spots in the blue background had a halo of something in
between. I want to know how big my red dots are, and I am not sure where to
take the edges.  All I can figure is that it is some kind of dithering
effect in the rendering, or that it is something to do with assigning the
256-colours and dithering to 16-bit data.

Can I turn dithering off? I can't use delayed colours because the data is
16-bit and I don't really want to drop the data resolution, but if this has
worked for someone out there then I might try. I am using software rendering
on an SGI Origin 3800, hardware is not an option. I have access to a
Sunblade with hardware rendering if that is a solution.

Any suggestions?
