These technologies are * controlled differently and API described below, although always * available, performs its function when appropriate method is enabled * and does nothing otherwise. * * ClearType-style LCD rendering exploits the color-striped structure of * LCD pixels, increasing the available resolution in the direction of * the stripe (usually horizontal RGB) by a factor of~3. Using the * subpixel coverages unfiltered can create severe color fringes * especially when rendering thin features. Indeed, to produce * black-on-white text, the nearby color subpixels must be dimmed * evenly. Therefore, an equalizing 5-tap FIR filter should be applied * to subpixel coverages regardless of pixel boundaries and should have * these properties: * * 1. It should be symmetrical, like {~a, b, c, b, a~}, to avoid * any shifts in appearance. * * 2. It should be color-balanced, meaning a~+ b~=~c, to reduce color * fringes by distributing the computed coverage for one subpixel to * all subpixels equally. * * 3. It should be normalized, meaning 2a~+ 2b~+ c~=~1.0 to maintain * overall brightness. * * Boxy 3-tap filter {0, 1/3, 1/3, 1/3, 0} is sharper but is less * forgiving of non-ideal gamma curves of a screen (and viewing angles), * beveled filters are fuzzier but more tolerant. * * Use the @FT_Library_SetLcdFilter or @FT_Library_SetLcdFilterWeights * API to specify a low-pass filter, which is then applied to * subpixel-rendered bitmaps generated through @FT_Render_Glyph. * * Harmony LCD rendering is suitable to panels with any regular subpixel * structure, not just monitors with 3 color striped subpixels, as long * as the color subpixels have fixed positions relative to the pixel * center. In this case, each color channel can be rendered separately * after shifting the outline opposite to the subpixel shift so that the * coverage maps are aligned. This method is immune to color fringes * because the shifts do not change integral coverage. * * The subpixel geometry must be specified by xy-coordinates for each * subpixel. By convention they may come in the RGB order: {{-1/3, 0}, * {0, 0}, {1/3, 0}} for standard RGB striped panel or {{-1/6, 1/4}, * {-1/6, -1/4}, {1/3, 0}} for a certain PenTile panel. * * Use the @FT_Library_SetLcdGeometry API to specify subpixel positions. * If one follows the RGB order convention, the same order applies to the * resulting @FT_PIXEL_MODE_LCD and @FT_PIXEL_MODE_LCD_V bitmaps. Note, * however, that the coordinate frame for the latter must be rotated * clockwise. Harmony with default LCD geometry is equivalent to * ClearType with light filter. * * As a result of ClearType filtering or Harmony shifts, the resulting * dimensions of LCD bitmaps can be slightly wider or taller than the * dimensions the original outline with regard to the pixel grid. * For example, for @FT_RENDER_MODE_LCD, the filter adds 2~subpixels to * the left, and 2~subpixels to the right. The bitmap offset values are * adjusted accordingly, so clients shouldn't need to modify their layout * and glyph positioning code when enabling the filter. * * The ClearType and Harmony rendering is applicable to glyph bitmaps * rendered through @FT_Render_Glyph, @FT_Load_Glyph, @FT_Load_Char, and * @FT_Glyph_To_Bitmap, when @FT_RENDER_MODE_LCD or @FT_RENDER_MODE_LCD_V * is specified. This API does not control @FT_Outline_Render and * @FT_Outline_Get_Bitmap. * * The described algorithms can completely remove color artefacts when * combined with gamma-corrected alpha blending in linear space. Each of * the 3~alpha values (subpixels) must by independently used to blend one * color channel. That is, red alpha blends the red channel of the text * color with the red channel of the background pixel. */ /************************************************************************** * * @enum: * FT_LcdFilter * * @description: * A list of values to identify various types of LCD filters. * * @values: * FT_LCD_FILTER_NONE :: * Do not perform filtering.
