how do i draw antialiased lines in allegro 5? ive already done:

  al_set_new_display_option(ALLEGRO_SAMPLE_BUFFERS, 1, ALLEGRO_REQUIRE);
  al_set_new_display_option(ALLEGRO_SAMPLES, 4, ALLEGRO_REQUIRE);

but that doesn't change anything

with:

without:

Are you drawing the lines directly to the backbuffer?

i never changed the current display, so i'm assuming yeah, i'm drawing to the backbuffer

Does ex_multisample work?

yes, i can run ex_multisample (although I don't see a difference between the two windows)

What's your operating system and graphics card?

whether its my laptop or my desktop (2 different os's and graphics card), its still un-sampled. i changed the require to suggest and it worked (although if i could somehow enable antialiasing, that would be much better)

Good that it's working now. And looks like you found a bug in Allegro - I'll put it into the bug tracker.

Multisampling is how gpu's do anti-aliasing afaik.

Hm, did I understand right, with ALLEGRO_SUGGEST, multi-sampling actually does work?

That's how I get it.
