This video is about what software has to do to draw a line...an ordinary straight line. Sounds simple, doesn't it? Well, there's a lot more going on than you might think. This video explains the basics behind pixels and gets into what anti-aliasing is and how it works.

I hadn't created a How Software Works video in a while, and I'd been meaning to do this subject. Hope you like it!

Amazing explanation I never knew what the 2x or 4x meant ...it's the sub pixels used! Awesome

[@juanpablodemaio5457]

Thanks, very interesting! What programing language do you use in your book?

[@vantonspraul]

How Software Works doesn't have any code. It explains what the software does to achieve things like graphics and security and so on, but without any programming.
The original Think Like a Programmer uses C++ for its code examples. The upcoming Think Like a Programmer: Python Edition, obviously enough, uses Python.
