ITPEC FE Subject A October 2025 — Question 17 of 60

Anti-aliasing — a technique to smooth jagged edges on slanted lines displayed on screens.

How it works:
- Pixels along diagonal edges get intermediate color values (partial shading)

- This creates the illusion of a smooth line instead of a staircase pattern

Why not others:
- (b) Bump mapping — simulates surface roughness in 3D rendering

- (c) Shading — calculates light and shadow on 3D surfaces

- (d) Texture mapping — applies a 2D image onto a 3D object's surface

Key rule: "Jagged edge" + "smooth appearance" = anti-aliasing.
