Hello,
That is a matter of taste. I know people that hate ClearType (anti-aliased fonts) and
love it. I know people that like sharp charts (as they are know in AB) and ones that
like smoothed (i.e. anti-aliased).
I guess that if you make a poll you will get 50%/50% result.
Frankly I was thinking about it but anti-aliased drawing is much slower than
normal simply because regular GDI is hardware accelerated while
Windows does NOT support hardware acceleration
in GDIplus (that is required for anti-alias output in regular windows as opposed
to directx surfaces).
GDIplus (anti-aliased) is about 10x slower than GDI.

Therefore, if I decide to add that, this would be optional, because the performance hit
for anti-aliasing is significant, not to mention that significant number of people
prefer sharp charts.
Best regards,
Tomasz Janeczko
