Abstract
Systems and methods for discontinuity edge overdraw are described. In one aspect, a polygonal mesh is rendered to produce a computer-generated image. The image exhibits aliasing at its discontinuity edges. The discontinuity edges are sorted prior to overdrawing. The discontinuity edges are overdrawn as anti-aliased lines to reduce the aliasing.
