Patent ID: 6947057

Claim:
A method for displaying lines on a display device, said method comprising: generating a plurality of sample positions in a two-dimensional space, wherein the plurality of sample positions correspond to a pixel; determining a sample normal distance for each of the sample positions with respect to a line in the two-dimensional space; assigning a plurality of sample values to said plurality of sample positions based on the sample normal distance of each of said sample positions, wherein said assigning comprises: determining a window value according to a window function for each of said sample positions based on the corresponding sample normal distance, wherein said determining said window value according to said window function for each of said sample positions comprises: multiplying the sample normal distance of each sample position by an anti-aliasing correction factor (ACF) to determine a corresponding scaled distance value; and evaluating said window function at the first scaled distance value; computing said sample value for each of said sample positions based on the corresponding window value; operating on said plurality of sample values to determine a pixel value for the pixel; transmitting the pixel value to a display device.
