47 | * The @FT_Library_SetLcdFilter API can be used to specify a low-pass |
||
48 | * filter which is then applied to LCD-optimized bitmaps generated |
||
49 | * through @FT_Render_Glyph. This is useful to reduce color fringes |
||
50 | * which would occur with unfiltered rendering. |
||
51 | * |
||
52 | * Note that no filter is active by default, and that this function is |
||
53 | * *not* implemented in default builds of the library. You need to |
||
54 | * #define FT_CONFIG_OPTION_SUBPIXEL_RENDERING in your `ftoption.h' file |
||
55 | * in order to activate it. |

63 | * |
||
64 | * @description: |
||
65 | * A list of values to identify various types of LCD filters. |
||
66 | * |
||
67 | * @values: |
||
68 | * FT_LCD_FILTER_NONE :: |
||
69 | * Do not perform filtering. When used with subpixel rendering, this |
||
70 | * results in sometimes severe color fringes. |
||
71 | * |
||
72 | * FT_LCD_FILTER_DEFAULT :: |
||
73 | * The default filter reduces color fringes considerably, at the cost |
||
74 | * of a slight blurriness in the output. |
||
75 | * |
||
76 | * FT_LCD_FILTER_LIGHT :: |
||
77 | * The light filter is a variant that produces less blurriness at the |
||
78 | * cost of slightly more color fringes than the default one. It might |
||
79 | * be better, depending on taste, your monitor, or your personal vision. |
||
80 | * |
||
81 | * FT_LCD_FILTER_LEGACY :: |
||
82 | * This filter corresponds to the original libXft color filter. It |
||
83 | * provides high contrast output but can exhibit really bad color |
||
84 | * fringes if glyphs are not extremely well hinted to the pixel grid. |
||
85 | * In other words, it only works well if the TrueType bytecode |
||
86 | * interpreter is enabled *and* high-quality hinted fonts are used. |
||
87 | * |
||
88 | * This filter is only provided for comparison purposes, and might be |
||
89 | * disabled or stay unsupported in the future. |

||
132 | * explicit call to this function with a `filter' value other than |
||
133 | * @FT_LCD_FILTER_NONE in order to enable it. |
||
134 | * |
||

136 | * do anything except returning `FT_Err_Unimplemented_Feature' if the |

137 | * configuration macro FT_CONFIG_OPTION_SUBPIXEL_RENDERING is not |
||
138 | * defined in your build of the library, which should correspond to all |
||
139 | * default builds of FreeType. |
||
140 | * |
||
141 | * The filter affects glyph bitmaps rendered through @FT_Render_Glyph, |
||
142 | * @FT_Outline_Get_Bitmap, @FT_Load_Glyph, and @FT_Load_Char. |
||
143 | * |

145 | * @FT_Outline_Get_Bitmap. |

146 | * |
||
147 | * If this feature is activated, the dimensions of LCD glyph bitmaps are |
||
148 | * either larger or taller than the dimensions of the corresponding |
||
149 | * outline with regards to the pixel grid. For example, for |
||
150 | * @FT_RENDER_MODE_LCD, the filter adds up to 3~pixels to the left, and |
||
151 | * up to 3~pixels to the right. |
||
152 | * |
||
153 | * The bitmap offset values are adjusted correctly, so clients shouldn't |
||
154 | * need to modify their layout and glyph positioning code when enabling |
||
155 | * the filter. |
