• AntiGrain - The project on which the AA algorithm was inspired. It uses C++ templates heavily to produce very fast code.

• http://cairographics.org/ - Another great 2D library (but with different goal from AntiGrain.)

Related links:

• http://www.freetype.org/ - AntiGrain derived its algorithm from FreeType.

• http://www.gnome.org/~mathieu/libart/internals.html - FreeType derived its algorithm from libArt.

• http://www.geometrictools.com/ (very interesting documentations and code, especially about handling all corner cases in geometric computations.)

• http://alvyray.com/Memos/MemosMicrosoft.htm - The memo named "A Pixel is Not a Little Square" is worth reading, and can help to understand the limit of the AA algorithm presented here (since the algorithm assume that a "pixel" is a little square..)

Off topic, but very interesting if you're not familier with Common Lisp:

• SLIME - The Superior Lisp Interaction Mode for Emacs

  • A very nice video showing SLIME in action (or a direct link here, but the .torrent link is recommended.)

• SBCL - The main Common Lisp implementation used to develop the project.
