Luckily, you have access to the LDLite source code.
And it is the following lines near the top of stub.c:
// replace pixels within tolerance to avoid rounding problems
#define Z_LINE_TOLERANCE 2
// move lines closer to viewer before drawing to avoid rounding problems
#define Z_LINE_OFFSET 3
The z values are in 1/16ths of an LDRAW-unit. The Z_LINE_TOLERANCE
is used in case one line is drawn exactly over another, so we make
sure the entire line is replaced rather than some moire pattern
due to rounding. The Z_LINE_OFFSET works like the "Polygon
Offset".
Playing with these values makes some models look better at some
resolutions and angles. I typically adjust these so that the
file m928.dat by Steven "Wombat" Walter at the standard view
looks the best. Maybe these need to be tweakable?

| (...) Did you get the changes to the way LDLite saves bitmaps that I submited about 2 months ago ? You haven't told me anything. Leonardo (25 years ago, 7-Jun-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)
