Parameters

Parameter
Description
image
Required. The ColdFusion image on which this operation is performed.
antialias
Optional. Antialiasing switch:
  • on (default) / true
  • off / false

Usage

The ImageSetAntialiasing function is used to turn antialiasing on and off when drawing shapes and text in an image. Antialiasing is a technique used to soften jagged edges. Turn on antialiasing when using other image functions, such as ImageDrawRoundRect and ImageRotate, to improve the quality of the rendered image. Notice that antialiasing decreases performance.
