<static> setSmoothingEnabled(context, value) → {CanvasRenderingContext2D}

Sets the Image Smoothing property on the given context. Set to false to disable image smoothing.

This sets the property across all current browsers but support is patchy on earlier browsers, especially on mobile.

Parameters:

Name	Type	Description
`context`	CanvasRenderingContext2D	The context to enable or disable the image smoothing on.
`value`	boolean	If set to true it will enable image smoothing, false will disable it.
