Can you provide screenshot examples?

Is this running on OSX? or Linux? or Windows?

It's OSX 10.6.8.

Offscreen Graphics Capabilities

In-Window Graphics Capabilities

The values above are reported by ADStudio 11.0.0-beta11. In Aqua Data Server v2.0.0-rc-2.0 I get the following:

Graphics Vendor: Intel Inc.
OpenGL Renderer: Intel GMA X3100 OpenGL Engine
OpenGL Version: 2.0 APPLE-1.6.36
Double-Buffering: OFF
Anti-aliasing: OFF
Anti-aliasing Sample Count: 0

Accumulation Buffer Bits: Red: 0 Green: 0 Blue: 0
Hardware PBuffer Available: ON

Using Ram Buffer: OFF
Offscreen Rendering: ON

I tried to use both Software renderer and Hardware GPU renderer in Preferences -> General -> Offscreen rendering (ADS restart included) , but I don't have antialiasing in any cases. However, the grid lines sems to be antialiased (see grid-antialias.png attachment).

Probably I don't have native anti-alias support on my GPU, but when using software renderer, I guess that the antialias should be available, right?

Emil, can you verify this is fixed in rc-8 ? I tested in Ubuntu and did not still find anti aliasing for Pie.

so things look anti-aliased to me ( see the most recent screenshot attachment antialiasingworkingfine.png ) with the settings below

FIxed in 2.0.0-rc-12.0

I don't have the ADServer v2.0.0-rc-8 nor the v2.0.0-rc12 OSX releases to test again (the initial issue was noticed under an OSX machine with no hardware support for anti-aliasing). I tried to test with ADStudio-12.0.0-dev-21 build (using the "Run in browser" feature on my Aqua-analytics scripts) but I get an exception related to OpenGL JNI libraries (see ADStudio issue #6968 ).

Pie-charts are now properly antialiased if rendered in 3D-mode, but are not anti-aliased in 2D mode ( AQChartProperties.setView2D(true) ; ) .  Is it supposed to work on 2D, too ? ( I guess charts are rendered without using OpenGL if mode is set to 2D ).

This looks like a bug in the 2d jitter antialiasing method. 

Both 2d & 3d rendering use OpenGL, but the jittering approach is implemented differently.

The reason some charts appear antialiased (e.g. area & column chart) is because an antialiased line is being drawn on top of the edges of these objects which hides the jaggies of the polygons underneath.

From Matt :

>>> this was working back in march 17 when I checked in.
>>> Caused by LoadIdentity() being called after jitter2d (which was resetting the camera matrix)
>>> Instead, call LoadIdentity() before the jitter operations

Works as expected, both in 2D and 3D modes.
