Rendering is the process of generating an image from a model ( or models in what collectively could be called a scene file ), by means of computer programs.

In order to remove aliasing, all rendering algorithms ( if they are to produce good-looking images ) must use some kind of low-pass filter on the image function to remove high frequencies, a process called antialiasing.

In theory, the method ( called " RGB Decimation " internally ) can be applied to enhance the anti-aliasing of any digital image.
