The visible "steps" of edges or lines around a pixel in a digital image, and is most notable in areas of high contrast. Anti- aliasing can reduce the visibility of the jagged features.…

Term for the stair-stepped appearance of curved or angled lines in a digital image file. The smaller the pixels and/or the greater their number, the less apparent are the “jaggies.” Jaggies are most c [..]

/jag'eez/ n. The `stairstep' effect observable when an edge (esp. a linear edge of very shallow or steep slope) is rendered on a pixel device (as opposed to a vector display).

One type of degradation found in digital images. Often described as zig-zag lines in hairlines or in the edges of highlights.

A slang term used to describe the jagged edges created by pixels.

This is the jargon or informal name for digital artifacts found in raster images. These star-line lines appear where there should be a smooth straight line or curve. Jaggies appear when the output device (i.e. printer or monitor) doesn’t have the adequate resolution to reproduce a smooth line.

Nickname for the smooth edges of lines that experience the "stair-step" effect in a low resolution photo.

Jaggies is a term for various kinds of anomalies in computer graphics outputs or display imaging. The result displays shape edges composed of small squares or “steps” instead of a smoothly contour [..]

"Jaggies" is the informal name for artifacts in raster images, most frequently from aliasing, which in turn is often caused by non-linear mixing effects producing high-frequency components or missing [..]

Stairlike lines that appear where there should be smooth straight lines or curves. Jaggies can occur for a variety of reasons, the most common being that the output device (display monitor or printer) [..]

Alternate term for the results of aliasing. See Aliasing

The jagged edges that appear in graphics on diagonal or curved lines. The stair-step appearance is the result of trying to build a diagonal or curved line out of little squares. One solution is to cre [..]
