- This is regarding easyEDA lib now, the elements of “Widgets” were different …
(it seems some of the issues weren’t there)
Comparing AA off and on in Safari and FF:
**a) Text:**
I think in both versions the element’s text (Arial 7) is nearly perfect in sharpness and readability, but it always has the AA set to “on”.
When I compare the AA in easyEDA to e.g. Wikipedia on the same font style and size the latter is slightly better.
- **Safari:** There is a problem when the zoom is below 100% because the text size remains constant and the text (lines) run into each other (FF is OK).

**b) Electronic elements, AA off:**
50%:
Only for overview. In Safari unusable (text).
75%:
All lines are sharp,
but suddenly lines are 2 pix wide.
However, it’s visible and usable (just the text is bad, see above).
100%:
All lines are sharp to the dot, the vertical ones are 1 pix misaligned to the right from the grid.
Some parts have visible **artifacts**, e.g. the diode (top corner) or the power supplies (e.g. VCVS), which is ugly. Circles and diagonal lines are somewhat zig zag, but OK.
150%:
All lines are sharp.
No artifacts, but some horizontal lines are 1 pix wider (case of CVS).
Circles and some diagonal lines (BJT) are ugly.
200%:
Better, hmmm. Not top.
**c) Electronic elements with AA on:**
50%:
Blurred, only for overview. In Safari unusable (text).
75%:
Blurred, but it’s visible and usable (just the text is bad in Safari, see above).
Some vertical lines are sharp.
100%:
Blurred, hurts the eye after some time.
No artifacts, however.
150%:
Much better, slightly blurred, but absolutely no problem.
200%:
That’s OK now, because of the bold lines you can’t hardly see the blurred circles / diagonal lines.
--> So again, basically, why is the easyEDA graphics worse than e.g. CircuitLab?
Or is it the red color of the elements? It seems black is better for AA ...
- OK, what about making the 150 to 100% (the default) with AA set to on?
This could be a workaround until there is a better solution ???
