Efficient polygonal shape filtering can be achieved with Green’s theorem and piecewise-polynomial filters like box, bilinear, and bicubic. By breaking and evaluating polygons into smaller sections, we can compute exact coverage for anti-aliasing, revealing illustrative insights into polygonal analysis on the GPU. Super-sampling can improve sharp results but may lead to over-coverage in certain cases. […]
