Abstract: A system and method are provided for implementing real-time antialiasing, transparency and motion blur of animated images displayed on a video monitor. Each pixel of an image to be displayed is associated with three attributes--a foreground color, a background color and a transparency factor. These attributes are used by a system processor to generate an index into a table of mixed colors that is stored in system memory. The table associates each combination of foreground color, background color and transparency factor with a color that appears to be a mixture of the foreground color and background color attributes for a pixel, with the weight of the mixture being defined by the transparency factor.
