Class HintStyle


public class HintStyle
extends Enum

Specifies the type of hinting to do on font outlines. Hinting is the process of fitting outlines to the pixel grid in order to improve the appearance of the result. Since hinting outlines involves distorting them, it also reduces the faithfulness to the original outline shapes. Not all of the outline hinting styles are supported by all font backends.

Field Details

DEFAULT

public static final HintStyle DEFAULT

Deprecated. Superceeded by java-gnome 4.0; this method or constant will no doubt exist conceptually, but it may have a different name or signature in order that the presented API is an algorithmic mapping of the underlying native libraries.

Use the default hint style for for font backend and target device

FULL

public static final HintStyle FULL

Deprecated. Superceeded by java-gnome 4.0; this method or constant will no doubt exist conceptually, but it may have a different name or signature in order that the presented API is an algorithmic mapping of the underlying native libraries.

Hint outlines to maximize contrast

MEDIUM

public static final HintStyle MEDIUM

Deprecated. Superceeded by java-gnome 4.0; this method or constant will no doubt exist conceptually, but it may have a different name or signature in order that the presented API is an algorithmic mapping of the underlying native libraries.

Hint outlines with medium strength giving a compromise between fidelity to the original shapes and contrast

NONE

public static final HintStyle NONE

Deprecated. Superceeded by java-gnome 4.0; this method or constant will no doubt exist conceptually, but it may have a different name or signature in order that the presented API is an algorithmic mapping of the underlying native libraries.

Do not hint outlines

SLIGHT

public static final HintStyle SLIGHT

Deprecated. Superceeded by java-gnome 4.0; this method or constant will no doubt exist conceptually, but it may have a different name or signature in order that the presented API is an algorithmic mapping of the underlying native libraries.

Hint outlines slightly to improve contrast while retaining good fidelity to the original shapes.
