JDK-8211861 - ImageView.setSmooth(false) does not work
Description
A DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM :
Canvas recently got a setImageSmoothing() method which disabled the smoothing algorithm when the Canvas was scaled. This was useful for those creating drawing programs or games with pixal graphics.

For similar reasons I would like to request a similar method be added to the ImageView API. Currently the setSmooth() method of ImageView only determines which smoothing algorithm to use without a way of turning it off completely.

Since there is confusion if there was a setSmooth and setImageSmoothing method perhaps only have setImageSmoothing which takes in an ENUM (e.g Smooth.OFF, Smooth.SLOW, Smooth.FAST)?.
Comments
There is an open issue to fix the already-existing ImageView::smooth property so that setting it to false will disable image smoothing. We don't plan to add a hint to control how the smoothing is done when enabled.
