1. A method for antialiasing a region of a two-dimensional distance field representing an object, wherein the two-dimensional distance field is partitioned; into cells, each cell including a method for reconstructing the two-dimensional distance field within the cell, comprising: identifying a set of cells of a two-dimensional distance field representing an object, the set of cells associated with a region of the two-dimensional distance field to be rendered; locating a set of pixels associated with the region; specifying a set of components for each pixel in the set of pixels; and determining an antialiased intensity for each component of each pixel in the set of pixels, the determining further comprising: determining a distance for the component of the pixel from the set of cells; and mapping the distance to the antialiased intensity of the component of the pixel.
