[Scilab-users] gcf().anti_aliasing : Confirmation of (un)effect?

[amonmayr at laas.fr]

Hello Samuel,

With your example, I don't see any difference on the various computers I 
have.
I think I used anti_aliasing in the past but I cannot find back a script 
where I used it.
I think I used it on 3D plots (surf?), maybe for the export to graphic 
files but I am not sure.
If I can find something I'll let you know.

Antoine
