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
I agree, however I would prefer a single class over subclasses if
possible. I have added Jim's proposal to the JIRA for consideration.

Thanks,

I'm pretty confident we'll want different sub-types as we go along (CSAA, MSAA,
FXAA -- there are a lot of different ways to do full-scene anti-aliasing and I
bet that they will have different parameters for controlling their various
algorithms), but we can cross that bridge later.

Sorry let me be clear. Having a class vs an enum was my preferred approach and
I'm glad with Jim's nudge it looks like we'll go there. Having just the few
predefined constants as a starting point I think is good, and we can add
sub-types and more goodness in the future.

Thank you for the feedback! We decided to drop DEFAULT in favor of
BALANCED. So here is the revised SceneAntiAliasing enum entries:
public enum SceneAntiAliasing {
BALANCED, // enables anti-aliasing using optimal system setting
available that balances speed and quality
DISABLED, //
Thanks for the help! I was of 2 minds about it; alphabetical or logical.
public enum SceneAntiAliasing {
DISABLED, // disables anti-aliasing
BALANCED, // enables anti-aliasing using optimal system setting available
that balances speed and quality
FASTEST, // enables anti-aliasing using
+1 on having DISABLED be first.

Just to be picky, I would put DISABLED first in the list. It seems more consistent
to have the only OFF mode to be first and then all the rest of the options (which
happen to then have ordinals 0) will be some form of ON mode.
I am not sure I like the name of the value DEFAULT. To me default
implies some kind of typical option for the particular platform which
could conceivably be very different on each platform. For example, on my
Windows super-computer with ultra fast GPU the default would logically be
something
We are way past the feature freeze date for this release. The objective
now is to ensure the API is clean and doesn't preclude future options.
Currently MSAA is the only supported technique and specifying the number
of samples will require additional API which we aren't ready to commit.
