From 29e40e56b243fee8ff92f4f1756d1a78c533049e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jim Huang Date: Sat, 1 Nov 2025 04:06:28 +0800 Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Implement adaptive anti-aliasing for polygon MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit This improves span fill for perfectly vertical edges (dx=0) with span-width threshold. This optimization targets the common case of rectangles and UI elements while preserving full quality for text, curves, and diagonal strokes. Implementation Strategy: - Conservative approach: only optimize dx=0 edges (mathematically safe) - Rejected slope-based thresholds (caused text aliasing at 30-50°) - Use constant coverage values to eliminate array lookups - Apply only to wide spans (>=16 pixels) to avoid branch overhead Technical Details: - Add _span_fill_vertical() for vertical edge fast path - Constant multiplication: count * 0x10 (compiler optimizes to shift) - Full pixel coverage: 0x40 (vs array lookup) - Span width threshold: 16 pixels * 4 samples = 64 samples Performance Results (mado-perf, 3-run average, Apple M1): - 500x500 rectangles: +7.9% (p<0.05, statistically significant) - 100x100 rectangles: +4.0% (p≈0.07, borderline significant) - 500x500 vertical lines: +3.1% - 100x100 vertical lines: +2.6% - Text shapes: +0-2% (quality preserved, zero visual regression) Precision Trade-off: - Row 2 partial pixels: 0.4% rounding error (1/255) - Visually imperceptible, verified with demo-sdl - Error: 0x10 vs 0x0f for first sub-pixel - Full pixel: 0x40 vs 0x3f (accepted design choice) Threshold Validation: - Tested 4-pixel threshold: -30% to -35% regression (branch overhead) - 16-pixel threshold: optimal balance (+2.6% to +7.9%) --- src/poly.c | 202 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++-------- tools/perf.c | 218 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 2 files changed, 389 insertions(+), 31 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/poly.c b/src/poly.c index d4eb9076..7bc5f295 100644 --- a/src/poly.c +++ b/src/poly.c @@ -5,6 +5,8 @@ * All rights reserved. */ +#include +#include #include #include "twin_private.h" @@ -18,6 +20,7 @@ typedef struct _twin_edge { twin_sfixed_t inc_x; twin_sfixed_t step_x; int winding; + uint8_t aa_quality; /* Adaptive AA: 0=1x1, 1=2x2, 2=4x4 */ } twin_edge_t; #define TWIN_POLY_SHIFT 2 @@ -29,6 +32,26 @@ typedef struct _twin_edge { #define TWIN_POLY_CEIL(c) (((c) + (TWIN_POLY_STEP - 1)) & ~(TWIN_POLY_STEP - 1)) #define TWIN_POLY_COL(x) (((x) >> TWIN_POLY_FIXED_SHIFT) & TWIN_POLY_MASK) +/* Adaptive AA quality computation + * + * Only optimize perfectly vertical edges (dx=0) where visual impact is + * guaranteed to be minimal.
