锯齿线
jaggies
/jag'eez/ (Or "staircase") The "staircase" effect
observable when an edge (especially a linear edge of very
shallow or steep slope) is rendered on a {bitmap display} (as
opposed to a {vector display}). The effect is even more
pronounced when a bitmap image or text in a bitmap font is
enlarged. {Outline fonts} and {anti-aliasing} are two
techniques used to solve this problem with text.
