Good to know that it is not caused by the newer versions. Just wanted to check that it wasn’t an unintended change. Looking forward to coot 1 on Mac!

I have noticed that something in the graphics has changed. In version 0.9.8.91 there is pretty noticeable aliasing, which is not a problem in version 0.9.8.5 packaged with ccpem. If I may so bold, I'd suggest the Subject of the post is not correct. It should be "Coot has worse aliasing in CCP4 builds than in CCPEM builds" For reasons that I don't understand, CCP4 have historically been reluctant to add the antialiasing patch into the build of Coot (one of its dependencies, just to be clear) - hence Coots from CCP4 have never had antialiasing. CCPEM developers have taken on board the anitaliasing patch and so their Coots look smoother. I have attached a picture to show this (I am using the default colors in both). I am on Mac M1 with MacOS Ventura 13.5.2. I know there is an antialiasing option, but it makes the lines on the map thicker and it is more difficult to see. Yes, I should have removed that years ago. I now know enough about OpenGL and graphics drivers to know that this function would never be able to do what I wanted it to do. FWIW, Things are different in the new version of Coot. All builds are non-antialiased (boo). But on macOS, Coot is now native and runs at retina resolution and so looks (again, if I may be so bold) rather attractive (yay). Regards, Paul.
