I'm watching a bike race with Xastir and the Tiger 2008 maps. There are lots of overlapping tracks. It got me thinking--the whole thing would be a lot easier to read if there was anti-aliasing on the maps, tracks, and text, and semi-transparency on the tracks. What would it take to accomplish this? I haven't poked around in the GUI code at all. Does Xastir already use a library that supports these options?
Semi-transparency: Yes. There are bit-blitting operations available in the X11 libraries. We use them currently for weather alerts. Anti-aliasing: I don't believe any of us have ever looked into that.
