Colour is the family; a dashed line is the second member of it.

The 13 reasons on these edges, as text

• correctsAnisotropic Filtering fixes a defect in Mipmappingone isotropic level overblurs surfaces seen at an angle
• approximatesFast Approximate Anti-Aliasing is a cheaper stand-in for Morphological Anti-Aliasingone heuristic pass instead of real pattern classification
• correctsMipmapping fixes a defect in Texture Mappingminified textures alias badly without prefiltering
• alternative-toMorphological Anti-Aliasing is a competing approach to Multisample Anti-Aliasingreconstructs edges from the final image, no extra samples
• approximatesMultisample Anti-Aliasing is a cheaper stand-in for Supersamplingsupersamples coverage but shades only once
• correctsNeighborhood Clamping fixes a defect in Temporal Anti-Aliasingwrong history ghosts and smears behind moving objects
• correctsSubpixel Morphological Anti-Aliasing fixes a defect in Morphological Anti-Aliasingmorphological filtering alone blurs and misses subpixel detail
• correctsSupersampling fixes a defect in Rasterizationpoint-sampled coverage aliases on every edge
• specializesTemporal Anti-Aliasing is a specific case of Temporal Sample Reusejitters the subpixel offset every frame
• requiresTemporal Anti-Aliasing does not work without Temporal Reprojectionthe history must be aligned to this frame
• part-ofTemporal Reprojection is a subtopic of Temporal Sample Reuse
• approximatesTemporal Sample Reuse is a cheaper stand-in for Supersamplingspreads the extra samples across frames
• extendsTemporal Upscaling adds capability to Temporal Anti-Aliasingthe same history also fills in resolution, not just edges
