Alias

Hello:

I may have asked this question before, and, if so, I apologise.

Is there a switch in AM to turn alias on and off when drawing on canvas? This is an example to two lines, one gold and one orange; both are supposed to be drawn 2 pixels wide. However, the gold line is clearly 2 pixels (each square of the grid represents one pixel) wide but the orange, due to alias, is one pixel wide with a shadow (or whatever it is referred to as) one pixel on each side.

Hi Sparky @The Artful Dodger,

I was thinking of another translation and you helped me discover the Alias could be related to "Pen Name" in English, we learn every day ...

In this case Alias is potentially deceiving, however it could be related to (anti-)Aliasing in the AM settings. Can't remember who, however someone already deciphered this point in deep, here on the forums ("deceiving" is also another deceiving word in French 😉 )
