No no, I mean, let's say we have an image of a one-colored rectangle, and I rotate that by, say, 72 degrees. Then the edges of the image are jaggy! And I only want the edges anti-aliased, I don't care if things that I might draw onto the rectangle later are jaggy or not.

But that can't be done with bitmap images (png, gif, bmp, etc). At least not with any method that I've heard of. If there WAS one, it'd be a total crapshoot no doubt

With vector graphics, though, yeah. In that case you'd be using a polygon =p

I really can't see why it wouldn't work, but I'm sure it would take quite some processing time. Valve's source engine takes screenshots of a halfway rendered scene to determine overall brightness and apply their HDR and Bloom effects, so I'm pretty certain that AA on the edges of bitmaps can be done in a somewhat hackish way as well
