ShadingAntiAliasFactor (user param)

This page applies to Harlequin v13.1r0 and later; both Harlequin Core and Harlequin MultiRIP

The /ShadingAntiAliasFactor parameter controls the smooth shading of fills. It determines how much noise is added. The default value results in linear frequency-modulated noise across the shaded fill.

ShadingAntiAliasFactor operates in terms of color bands, so it interacts with the smoothness value. You may want to disable the effect altogether by setting this to 0. Setting it to values greater than 1.0 violates the smoothness tolerance on a micro-scale, while preserving it on average. Settings greater than 1.0 introduce extra noise into the shading, beyond the tolerance color ranges.

The use of this parameter depends on the workflow and device. Default: 1.0
