I have a call in my app that draws a large pixmap into a canvas:

imageCanvas.graphics.DrawPicture p, 0, 0, destWidth, destHeight,
sourceX, sourceY, sourceWidth, sourceHeight

When destWidth/Height are much greater than sourceWidth/Height (ie at
high "zoom") the pixels are anti-aliased and therefore fuzzy.  Problem
is my program is a scientific imaging app and I need accuracy not
visually pretty pictures.

When useOldRenderer=true, QuickDraw would draw the pixels without blur
(that's the only way it knew how).  But now we have extras we don't
always want.  I can't do this with useOldRenderer set to true because
that would defeat translucency in other vector objects I'm also
drawing atop the pixmap.

Is there a way to control or defeat the anti-aliasing in
graphics.DrawPicture with Quartz (I bet this imposes a hefty
performance hit as well)?

I found an interim solution by useOldRenderer=true for the pixmap,
then =false for the vectors, but Quickdraw will one day disappear for
good, so it would be good to know if this can be controlled in Quartz.

Thx,
Peter
