Marching Ants successor?

Hi again,

the classic marching ants were invented when GFlops were considered science fiction:) While that scheme has proven immensely useful, it does not offer anti-aliasing and has some flickering issues with line segments that approach 45 degree angles.

Presuming unlimited GPU power, how should unfilled shapes/selection outlines be displayed?

Two experiments for your inspiration: http://yahvuu.files.wordpress.com/2009/08/noisy-ants1.gif http://yahvuu.files.wordpress.com/2009/08/noisy-217b.gif

best regards, yahvuu

The noisy selection in did not offer any real delineation -- although most people would not manually work right up close to the border, but that's not the point.

Is it possible to shadow (darken) the _unselected_ portion of the image?

Gordon.
