Author Topic: "Jaggies" (Read 263 times)

I put this term in quotes, because I do not believe it should be a term used today relating to graphics.

Many people these days, mainly the young ones are expressing their feelings towards low resolution graphics and no anti-aliasing features.

If you choose to Wikipedia the term "Jaggies" it will give you a definition similar to this:

An informal term to describe jagged edges on a display. This happens due to low resolution as I said before, and the lack of anti-aliasing.

Does anyone use this noobish term here?

Am I the only one who is embarrassed by the fact that people actually say "Jaggies" and not jagged edges or lines?

The term just seems so childish to me...

Jaggies are in museum just like knives to cut the bread.

Noobish...? I dunno about that. They used that term back in the '80s before antialiasing was mainstream... there was even a piece of software you could buy called "Jaggies Are Gone".

Though, I know what you mean about terms that just seem out of place in this day and age... "clicker" is the one I can't stand.
