Hi, I'm using the commandline export to file functionality to generate some
images of my model.

For OpenSCAD itself I've set some anti-aliasing settings in the AMD Control
Center, so that lines are smooth when I preview a model in OpenSCAD. But,
when I export to file via the commandline the antialiasing doesn't work.
I've set the AA settings for both the openscad.exe and openscad.com files,
but it's not looking pretty.

Here is a screenshot of the model in OpenSCAD next to the same model
exported to file. Notice the jagged lines.

The command I used to export the cube was:
"%PROGRAMFILES%\OpenSCAD\Openscad.com" -o images\cube.png -D $fn=100
cube.scad

Any suggestions for how I can make the exported image look better?

Using large values for --imgsize=width,height and scale down the
image should allow pretty much give same effect as the anti-aliasing
settings.

ciao,

Thanks, that helped.

I can go as high as --imgsize=4096,4096. That gives a lot smoother edges.
Here is a comparison without ---imgsize, and with it set to 4096.

I started getting errors when trying --imgsize=8192,8192.
