The computer monitor resolution - the higher your monitor resolution is the smaller the individual pixels, and pixels are square. So a curve consists of square pixels lined up diagonally, if you can imagine it in your mind's eye - like a stairway. So people who set their monitor resolution to 800x600 will see more jaggedness than those who set at 1600x1200 (in general - it also depends on the monitor size). It's just a grid.
There is really no way around this for display, but only in print where resolution is much higher. Your posted image can't be improved upon for display - the monitor limits resolution. Maris P.S. I like the image - I should have complemented you before. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Shel Belinkoff" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, November 16, 2001 1:03 PM Subject: Re: Flag Wrapped Building | The computer monitor resolution or the number of pixels in the image? | | "Maris V.
