[Laszlo-dev] pixel locking

[Lou Iorio]

Yes, but I'm trying to come up with an example to demonstrate why you  
would use
this. I'm setting a views to a non-integer x values, but no matter  
what value I choose,
the view's edge is not blurry. Same with text.

I expected this:

<canvas height="500" width="500" debug="true">
   <view name="view1" bgcolor="red" width="100" height="100" x="50"  
onclick="this.myAnimator.doStart()">
     <animator name="myAnimator" attribute="x" to=".1"  
duration="1000" start="false" relative="true"/>
   </view>
</canvas>

to give the view a blurry edge at some point when I click on it.
