Smooth Lines with Anti-Aliasing

You can enable anti-aliasing to improve the quality of lines in views. Apply the setting globally to affect all views, or apply it to individual views when needed.

For example, you may want to enable anti-aliasing so that curves and sketchy lines display smoothly, with a less jagged appearance.
