What is Aliasing and can this be minimised during display?

Aliasing is a visual artifact that occurs when high-frequency detail in an image is not adequately represented, leading to jagged edges or distortions, particularly in digital graphics. It often arises when the resolution of the display is insufficient to capture the finer details of the image. To minimize aliasing during display, techniques such as anti-aliasing can be employed, which smooths out jagged edges by blending colors at the boundaries. Additionally, increasing the display resolution can also help reduce the effects of aliasing.
