Description

I've just noticed a serious (if one cares about quality of exported composers ;) ) issue with effects. Under a specific symbology composition scenario, enabling layer-wide effects results in pixelated border. If I had to guess what's happening here, it looks like the transparency is dropped, affecting rendering of anti-aliased edge.

The effect_vs_noeffect.png screenshot probably does a better job at demonstrating the issue than my introductory paragraph above.

A test project is also attached to reproduce this issue.

History

#1 Updated by Mathieu Pellerin - nIRV almost 8 years ago

Just tested: the problematic rendering equals rendering of marker without anti-aliasing (i.e. if you go in QGIS' preference window and switch anti-aliasing off).

Issue also affects filled markers, and ellipse markers.

#2 Updated by Mathieu Pellerin - nIRV almost 8 years ago

Few more observations:
- The issue is actually triggered by the use of an SVG marker layer; if I have an svg marker layer added, the absence of antialiasing will appear after the first feature is rendered.
- Scarily enough, it affects everything, including polygons (if you end up using centroid fill with an svg marker), lines (if you use an svg marker on vertexes), etc.
