Anti-aliasing can only be used when translucency is enabled. This is enforced both by the
user interface via the Workspace Manager and programmatically. When you select Use Anti-
Aliasing, Enable Translucency is also selected automatically. Whenever Enable
Translucency is deselected, Use Anti-Aliasing is automatically deselected.

The following maps demonstrate label translucency and anti-aliasing effects on roads and highways.
Notice the smoothness of the region borders and polylines when anti-aliasing is enabled.

A translucency trackbar (TrackBarValuePicker control) in all style dialogs (Line Style, Area Style,
Symbol Style, Text Style, etc.) enables you to pick a percent value between 0-100 using the sliding
trackbar or the numeric selection box. However, this trackbar only works when translucency is
enabled.
