I am also looking for general Aliasing algorithms. I am working on a
Ray Tracing package here at UVic, and I am interested in finding info
or implementations of a post processing anti - aliasing stage to the
scenes my ray tracer produces. After the posting of the Floyd-Steinberg
dithering algorithm, I thought to myself, if this exists out there,
maybe some aliasing code exists too. BTW, thanks for the dithering
stuff guys, it works like a charm. Ya just gotta love the NET 8^)

So, whats the story. Any one have anti aliasing running on 24 bit sun
rasterfiles yet. Any one have good sources for me. I just gotta get
rid of some of those jaggies.

Thanks in advance gang, and keep the info coming.....

	Brian.
