#define kQAAntiAlias_Off                            0
#define kQAAntiAlias_Fast                           1

#define kQAAntiAlias_Best                           3

Constant descriptions

kQAAntiAlias_Off
Antialiasing is off.
kQAAntiAlias_Fast
The drawing engine performs whatever level of antialiasing it can do with no speed penalty. This often means that antialiasing is turned off.
kQAAntiAlias_Mid
The drawing engine performs a medium level of antialiasing. You should use this antialiasing mode when you want to perform antialiasing interactively.
kQAAntiAlias_Best
The drawing engine performs the highest level of antialiasing it can. This mode may be unsuitable for interactive rendering.
