[Mono-dev] System.Drawing.Graphics ignores InterpolationMode

[Sebastien Pouliot]

Hello,

Cairo, on which libgdiplus depends for graphics, has much
less interpolation options than MS GDI+ defines in its API. So
libgdiplus maps "many to few" options in this case.

Cairo is also known not to downscale images very well (but some Cairo
people are looking at this). Google cairo's mailing-list if you want to
know more about the issues.
