Java Tutorial/2D Graphics/Antialiasing

Determine if antialiasing is enabled

import java.awt.Graphics;
import java.awt.Graphics2D;
import java.awt.RenderingHints;
import javax.swing.JComponent;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
public class BasicDraw {
  public static void main(String[] args) {
    new BasicDraw();
  }
  BasicDraw() {
    JFrame frame = new JFrame();
    frame.add(new MyComponent());
    frame.setSize(300, 300);
    frame.setVisible(true);
  }
}
class MyComponent extends JComponent {
  public void paint(Graphics g) {
    // Retrieve the graphics context; this object is used to paint shapes
    Graphics2D g2d = (Graphics2D) g;
    // Determine if antialiasing is enabled
    RenderingHints rhints = g2d.getRenderingHints();
    boolean antialiasOn = rhints.containsValue(RenderingHints.VALUE_ANTIALIAS_ON);
    // Enable antialiasing for shapes
    g2d.setRenderingHint(RenderingHints.KEY_ANTIALIASING, RenderingHints.VALUE_ANTIALIAS_ON);
  }
}

Disable antialiasing for shapes

    frame.setVisible(true);
  }
}
class MyComponent extends JComponent {

    Graphics2D g2d = (Graphics2D) g;
    g2d.setRenderingHint(RenderingHints.KEY_ANTIALIASING, RenderingHints.VALUE_ANTIALIAS_OFF);
