7 | 7 | The antialias enum class specifies the type of anti-aliasing that the rendering

63 |
| - By specifying this value, the user is hinting that anti-aliasing is more |
64 |

| 54 | + This might commonly be chosen when a user is going to render something once and cache the results for repeated use or when a user is rendering something that does not necessarily need performance suitable for real-time computer graphics applications. |
