Jaggies (Digital Imaging)

Another word for stair-stepping or staircased edges of a raster or vector image. This problem can appear when low-resolution files are blown up to large sizes.

Jaggies (Electronic Cinematography)

Jargon for spatial aliasing that appears as jagged steps on diagonal lines in a TV picture. Caused by insufficient filtering, violation of the Nyquist limit and/or poor interpolation. See "Aliasing".

Jaggies (Newton)

A condition where objects and text on the Newton screen appear overly jaggy or bitmapped. Thought to be an electro-mechanical problem between the LCD display and the connector. Source: NTLK

Jaggies (Photography)

Stair-like 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) does not have enough resolution to portray a smooth line. In addition, jaggies often occur when a bit-mapped image is converted to a different resolution. This is one of the advantages vector graphics has over bit-mapped graphics -- the output looks the same regardless of the resolution of the output device.The effect of jaggies can be reduced somewhat by a graphics technique known as antialiasing. Antialiasing smoothes out jagged lines by surrounding the jaggies with shaded pixels. In addition, some printers can reduce jaggies with a technique known as smoothing.The smaller the pixels and the greater their number, the less apparent the "jaggies". Also known as pixelization.

Jaggies (Technology)

The "stairsteps" that appear in diagonal lines and curves drawn at low resolutions in computer graphics. Also called aliasing.
