Abstract
A modified three-pixel antialiasing method wherein the closest pixel from a displayed line has a constant display intensity includes the steps of locating a first pixel having a shortest distance along an axis of the pixel matrix array from the line, determining the shortest distance, calculating pixel intensity for the first pixel by multiplying a maximum intensity of the first pixel with a constant value, locating a second pixel having a second shortest distance along the axis from the line, locating a third pixel having a third shortest distance along the axis from the line, calculating pixel intensity for the second pixel, and calculating pixel intensity for the third pixel.
