|
|
* LCD Filtering
|
|
*
|
|
* @abstract:
|
|
* Reduce color fringes of LCD-optimized bitmaps.
|
|
*
|
|
* @description:
|
|
* The @FT_Library_SetLcdFilter API can be used to specify a low-pass
|
|
* filter which is then applied to LCD-optimized bitmaps generated
|
|
* through @FT_Render_Glyph. This is useful to reduce color fringes
|
|
* which would occur with unfiltered rendering.
|
|
*
|
|
* Note that no filter is active by default, and that this function is
|
|
* *not* implemented in default builds of the library. You need to
|
|
* #define FT_CONFIG_OPTION_SUBPIXEL_RENDERING in your `ftoption.h' file
|
|
* in order to activate it.
|
|
*
|
|
* FreeType generates alpha coverage maps, which are linear by nature.
|
|
* For instance, the value 0x80 in bitmap representation means that
|
|
* (within numerical precision) 0x80/0xff fraction of that pixel is
|
|
* covered by the glyph's outline. The blending function for placing
|
|
* text over a background is
|
|
*
|
|
* {
|
|
* dst = alpha * src + (1 - alpha) * dst ,
|
|
* }
|
|
*
|
|
* which is known as OVER. However, when calculating the output of the
|
|
* OVER operator, the source colors should first be transformed to a
|
|
* linear color space, then alpha blended in that space, and transformed
|
|
* back to the output color space.
|
|
*
|
|
* When linear light blending is used, the default FIR5 filtering
|
|
* weights (as given by FT_LCD_FILTER_DEFAULT) are no longer optimal, as
|
|
* they have been designed for black on white rendering while lacking
|
|
* gamma correction. To preserve color neutrality, weights for a FIR5
|
|
* filter should be chosen according to two free parameters `a' and `c',
|
|
* and the FIR weights should be
|
|
*
|
|
* {
|
|
* [a - c, a + c, 2 * a, a + c, a - c] .
|
|
* }
|
|
*
|
|
* This formula generates equal weights for all the color primaries
|
|
* across the filter kernel, which makes it colorless. One suggested
|
|
* set of weights is
|
|
*
|
|
* {
|
|
* [0x10, 0x50, 0x60, 0x50, 0x10] ,
|
|
* }
|
|
*
|
|
* where `a' has value 0x30 and `b' value 0x20. The weights in filter
|
|
* may have a sum larger than 0x100, which increases coloration slightly
|
|
* but also improves contrast.

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

* @return:

|

* defined in your build of the library, which should correspond to all

* default builds of FreeType.
|
|
*
|
|
* The filter affects glyph bitmaps rendered through @FT_Render_Glyph,
|
|
* @FT_Outline_Get_Bitmap, @FT_Load_Glyph, and @FT_Load_Char.
|
|
*
|
|
* It does _not_ affect the output of @FT_Outline_Render and

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