7 | 7 | The antialias enum class specifies the type of anti-aliasing that the rendering |
8 | | -system uses for rendering and composing paths. See |
| 8 | +system uses for rendering paths. See |
9 | 9 | Table~\ref{tab:\iotwod.antialias.meanings} for the meaning of each |
10 | 10 | \tcode{antialias} enumerator. |

47 | | - \begin{note} |
48 | | - By specifying this value, the user is hinting that faster anti-aliasing is |
49 | | - preferable to better anti-aliasing. |
50 | | - \end{note} |
| 46 | + & Some form of anti-aliasing should be used when performing a rendering operation but performance is more important than the quality of the results. The technique used is \impldef{antialiasing!fast}. |

53 | | - & Some form of anti-aliasing shall be used when this option is selected, but the form used is \impldefplain{antialiasing!good}. |
54 | | - \begin{note} |
55 | | - By specifying this value, the user is hinting that sacrificing some performance |
56 | | - to obtain better anti-aliasing is acceptable but that performance is still a |
57 | | - concern. |
58 | | - \end{note} |
| 49 | + & Some form of anti-aliasing should be used when performing a rendering operation and the sacrificing some performance to obtain better anti-aliasing results than would likely be obtained from \tcode{antialias::fast} is acceptable. The technique used is \impldef{antialiasing!good}. |

60 | 51 | \tcode{best} |
61 | | - & Some form of anti-aliasing shall be used when this option is selected, but the form used is \impldefplain{antialiasing!best}. |
| 52 | + & Some form of anti-aliasing should be used when performing a rendering operation and better anti-aliasing results than would likely be obtained from \tcode{antialias::fast} and \tcode{antialias::good} are desired even if performance degrades significantly. The technique used is \impldef{antialiasing!best}. |
62 | 53 | \begin{note} |
63 | | - By specifying this value, the user is hinting that anti-aliasing is more |
64 | | - important than performance. |
| 54 | + This might commonly be chosen when a user is going to render something once and cache the results for repeated use or when a user is rendering something that does not necessarily need performance suitable for real-time computer graphics applications. |
