*THIS BE FO' THE LINE-EATER*

One method of drawing anti-aliased lines into a bit map involves
linearly decreasing the intensity as you get further from the ideal
line.  I have heard that this produces an undesirable effect called
the "Barber-pole" or Barbed-Wire" effect.  Anybody know about this?
Got any references?

Please respond by e-mail and I will summarize.  Thanks, as they say,
in advance.
