I don't see how this is critical since you can simply avoid calling 
setTextAntialias(int).

If its parent turns the advanced graphics on, there is no way to turn it off 
from draw2d API

Comment 3 Randy Hudson 2005-09-15 10:09:59 EDT

Right, so the parent should avoid turning it on. Or, it should turn it on 
temporarily and turn it off using Graphics.restoreState().

Comment 4 Randy Hudson 2005-09-15 10:11:30 EDT

Sorry, "Right" meaning if the parent turns it on, the child can not turn it off.

"Wrong" that there is no API to turn off advanced graphics. Popping or 
restoring the graphics state will restore the non-advanced mode.

Comment 5 Yi Gao 2005-09-15 11:32:53 EDT

You are right you can pop or restore the state. However, this will rely on the 
code other than the current figure which push the state. The code will be very 
hard to maintain. It is similar to a function that depends on the current call 
stack. If it is called from some callers, it works. but not for others.

SWT have API that can explicitly switch graphics system.
