antialiasing line features..

[Ivan Price]

Jeff,

you are having more luck than me.. I am using the following and getting
a non-antialiased line still. Perhaps antialiasing has been removed from
the cartoline's capabilities in later versions ?

it would be great to see antialiasing applied to all symbols and/or a
geometry type (point/line/poly) independent way to antialias features.
unfortunately until we can make maps that look 'pretty' we're not going
to be able to replace our 'big company' mapping server.

cheers,

-ivan
