Retain sharpness in scaled images

[HannesP]

Is it possible to retain the sharpness of images when drawing them with a scale factor? Mine become "fuzzy" in the edges when I do so, and when one pixel neighbours a pixel with 0 alpha, unwanted white "outlines" occur. I just want simple n^2 scaling where 1 pixel is drawn as 4 at 2x, 9 at 3x, 16 at 4x etc.

Ah, first time I've seen anyone (other than me) complain about those evil borders. It's related to the color of the transparent pixels, which apparently are white in your case. I made a function to alleviate that ages ago. Too bad it mysteriously stopped working.

Sorry, there's no nearest neighbor filtering (yet).

Yay, at least it's a known issue how hard is this to implement in the backend? I know nothing about OpenGL programming, but my intuitive guess is that setting some kind of option in would be enough to make OpenGL render the images the way I want them. Am I completely wrong on this?

You're not wrong. You're spot on. It's not hard at all.

Will this be fixed in 0.6.0?

I also would like to see this

There isn't an issue about this in the tracker.

That was the plan.

There is an issue in the tracker, it just has a really bad name.
