Hi All,
Need to revive this thread, to remind everyone that anti-aliasing API change is
going in. And should be available in build b112.
See bug report for some further detail/discussion:
https://javafx-jira.kenai.com/browse/RT-31878
Initially only available anti-aliasing modes are BALANCED and DISABLED, as per
decision by Kevin and Richard. FASTEST and NICEST should come later.
The new class SceneAntialiasing should resembled below:
/**
* The JavaFX {@code SceneAntialiasing} class specifies the level of
* anti-aliasing desired. Scene anti-aliasing is primarily used when rendering
* 3D primitives, which are otherwise rendered aliased.
* <p>
* Note: In order for {@code SceneAntialiasing} to have an affect, the
underlying
* system must support:
* {@link javafx.application.ConditionalFeature#SCENE3D
ConditionalFeature.SCENE3D}
* and anti-aliasing.
* </p>
* @since JavaFX 8.0
*/
public final class SceneAntialiasing {
/**
* Disables anti-aliasing
*/
public static final SceneAntialiasing DISABLED = new
SceneAntialiasing("DISABLED");
/**
* Enables anti-aliasing optimizing for a balance of quality and performance
*/
public static final SceneAntialiasing BALANCED = new
SceneAntialiasing("BALANCED");
...
private SceneAntialiasing(String value) { val = value; }
}
Note this is a potential breaking change, and the following constructors will
change!
Constructors remove:
public Scene(Parent root, double width, double height, boolean depthBuffer,
boolean antiAliasing)
public SubScene(Parent root, double width, double height, boolean depthBuffer,
boolean antiAliasing)
Constructor add:
public Scene(Parent root, double width, double height, boolean depthBuffer,
SceneAntiAliasing antiAliasing)
public SubScene(Parent root, double width, double height, boolean depthBuffer,
SceneAntiAliasing antiAliasing)
