Allow-smoothing

From Frontal Wiki

Purpose

Use this style to smooth images loaded and scaled with the 'img' tag.

Value

Either "true" or "false". The default value is "false".

allow-smoothing: false;

Remarks

Bitmap smoothing is a feature of Flash and more information can be found in the Flash reference for Bitmap.smoothing. While bitmap smoothing can affect performance dramatically, the effect is so good that it's usually worth it.

If you are having problems getting the style to work, there may be permissions issues at play. Please see img#Permissions and External Assets for more details.

Example

In this example, we load the same image twice and scale it by half. For the first image, we do not allow smoothing and for the second we do. Notice the quality difference in the result.
