A method renders a graphical object for display on a destination raster of pixels having a destination resolution by rendering the graphical object at a resolution higher than the destination resolution to generate one or more pieces, the pieces in the aggregate representing the graphical object at the higher resolution, and each of the pieces having a position with respect to the destination raster, whereby each piece overlaps one or more pixels; for each of the pieces, calculating a contribution made by the piece to each of one or more pixels according to a selected algorithm, the algorithm being selected by a process applying a plurality of factors; and aggregating all the contributions made to each pixel to determine a value for the pixel.
