Hi Pete,

Have you tried just clearing the background? 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.
