blitScale does not use antialiasing

[technic]

Hi,

I want to display scaled image in the eListboxPythonMultiContent with TYPE_PIXMAP_ALPHABLEND flag and BT_SCALE flag. and the scaling (upscale) is actually horrible:

The upper image I scaled on the PC with Gimp and the border is smooth. The bottom image is rendered with BT_SCALE flag and it has artifacts near the borders.

I have gigablue trio 4k with openatv 6.4. And I cannot figure out which code is used for scaling.

I see that there is a software scaling algorithm, which is very naive https://github.com/openatv/enigma2/blob/a5bfe42888e452c7a610f2e6b61fc719d724e401/lib/gdi/gpixmap.cpp#L676-L689

And there is also call to some hardware render https://github.com/openatv/enigma2/blob/a5bfe42888e452c7a610f2e6b61fc719d724e401/lib/gdi/gpixmap.cpp#L629-L641

Which one is used? So, can this be fixed by software? Does it use bcm_accel_blit or not, because I think this device does not have BCM cpu? The result on the tv is very similar to result when I start enigma2 on PC under SDL when there is a "software" branch of blitScale used.

According to this line https://github.com/openatv/enigma2/blob/14daa805f101e1e5b9187ea5b20a43c25c946db6/configure.ac#L570 my device has HISILICON chip but not HAVE_HISILICON_ACCEL flag. So I assume that software scaling is used. I think on modern arm cpus it should be no problem to use better algorithm for scaling with some cubic antialias or so.

Can you please try again with ATV 7.3.

HAVE_HISILICON_ACCEL is only for dinobot, all other boxes have BCM_ACCEL also HISI.
