GraphicsAlpha Property

Summary
Gets or sets a value that indicates the type of graphics anti-aliasing to use.
Syntax
C#
Objective-C
C++/CLI
Java
Python
public int GraphicsAlpha { get; set; } 
@property (nonatomic, assign) NSInteger graphicsAlpha; 
public int getGraphicsAlpha() 
public void setGraphicsAlpha(int value) 
public: 
property int GraphicsAlpha { 
   int get(); 
   void set (    int ); 
} 
GraphicsAlpha # get and set (CodecsPdfLoadOptions) 

Property Value

The type of anti-aliasing to use:

Value Description
1 Do not use graphics anti-aliasing. Default value is 1.
2 Use 2-bit graphics anti-aliasing.
4 Use 4-bit graphics anti-aliasing.
Remarks

The value of this property is used only when Leadtools.Pdf.Utilities.dll is used by the application. For more information, refer to Implementing PDF Features.

Aliasing is the effect on all pixel devices where diagonal and curved lines have a zigzag appearance. As pixels get larger, this effect becomes more noticeable. Anti-aliasing refers to methods designed to decrease or eliminate this effect. This is done by shading the pixels along the borders of the affected lines.

This option affect pdf format when UsePdfEngine is set to true to use Leadtools.Pdf.Utilities.dll, it still affects Postscript format.
