Description

This method actually applies anti-aliasing when this property is set to true. For some types of symbols, applying this property will make the symbol look better; however for some other symbols such as text symbols it might cause to look a bit blurry and will make the text hard to read.

Remarks

When The Smooth property is set to true, a smooth algorithm is being applied, when the symbol is being rendered.That affects the way the symbol is rendered and scales.

Note: The smooth symbols can move smoothly on the screen (while rendered in sub-pixels), but sometimes might look blurry.
