hi all,
i'm working on some graphic stuff atm
it is a negative pie around a circle, to do this i excluded a pie from an rectangle but the border looks really crap, so what to do to get a smooth border around the circle?

in the example you can see the difference between the circle which has a smooth cleen border and the excluded pie

it looks like that the excluded border doesn't get antialiased which should be happen per default smoothing mode

any help is welcome :)

Clipping is always aliased, as it is a pixel map. Instead, work more with graphic paths, it is no problem to add curved lines. That way you build the concave outer pie, can fill it with color and have smooth borders.
