 | | Line Thickness and Antialiasing in LdGLite 0.7.3 —Don Heyse
|
| | | LdGLite version 0.7.3 in now available. With all the talk about line widths and antialiasing around here lately I decided to add it to ldglite. Heck, it only took about an hour to make the changes. As Lars recently proclaimed, "Hooray for OpenGL"! (...) (24 years ago, 27-Dec-00, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.dev)

| | | | | I've tested LdGLite 0.7.3 on Linux, and the line width option worked fine! Thanks! While rendering a model with steps, I noticed that the whole image is rerendered at each step.
