# allowsEdgeAntialiasing

A Boolean indicating whether the layer is allowed to perform edge antialiasing.

```
var allowsEdgeAntialiasing: Bool { get set }
```

## Discussion

When the value is <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Swift/true>, the layer is allowed to antialias its edges, as requested by the value in the layer’s [`edgeAntialiasingMask`](/documentation/QuartzCore/CALayer/edgeAntialiasingMask) property. The default value is read from the boolean `UIViewEdgeAntialiasing` property in the main bundle’s `Info.plist` file. If no value is found, the default value is <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Swift/false>.
