In Gimp it is used for paintbrush drawing with subpixel positioning of the brush. The actual gray levels created are interpolated according to the gray levels of the paintbrush matrix and the subpixel location. (At least I guess that is how Gimp works. If not, then it is a waste of sub-pixel information, and we should file a bug. ;-) Regards, Dov On Wed, Mar 23, 2005 at 01:53:25PM +0200, Olexiy Avramchenko wrote: > Michael Natterer wrote: > >Because extended input devices produce coordinates > >at sub-pixel positions. > Aha, interesting...
