I know it's not great performance wise but it might be acceptable for what you're doing. Or keep a copy of the view in memory (without the bands) and then when you need to clear a band just clear the rect defined by it's end points by copying from the 'backup' buffer. I'm sure you've thought of all this, and I see your point about AA. Personally I think a toggle is required to turn AA off if desired, I'm not convinced that off should be the default though just for the sake of a few old games, but we shouldn't make it difficult to update them either.
