rendering hints

[Roedy Green]

Was 1.3 the first version of Java that let you do this?

protected void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
Graphics2D g2d = (Graphics2D)g;
g2d.setRenderingHint(RenderingHints.KEY_TEXT_ANTIALIASING,
RenderingHints.VALUE_TEXT_ANTIALIAS_ON);
g2d.setRenderingHint(RenderingHints.KEY_RENDERING,
RenderingHints.VALUE_RENDER_QUALITY);
super.paintComponent(g2);


Is there an easier way now in 1.5?

No, should these keys/values should have been already in 1.2.

See Q9.2 of a current version of the comp.lang.java.gui FAQ. There is a
property now. However, antialiasing everything might give much worse
results than not antialiasing anything.
