Anti-Grain Geometry (Historical)

Hello all! :)

I've only started working with AGG but I'm very impressed so far, it is =
a remarkably powerful system.

If I may be permitted a noobish question:

What is the difference between span_image_resample_rgba and =
span_image_filter_rgba?

I know that span_image_resample_rgba is less prone to moir=E9 when =
downsampling, and is slower than span_image_filter_rgba. But I'm not =
sure what it actually does to achieve this.=20

Is _resample just _filter with some blur added?

Or is there a more fundamental difference between "resampling" and =
"filtering" in AGG?

I guess I'm a bit confused because I thought the interpolation done when =
you use span_image_filter_rgba would already be considered "resampling." =
:)

I've tried searching on google for other uses of the term but it just =
seems to refer to using a filter/interpolation as opposed to simply =
using nearest neighbour.
