text_rendering_hint

enum class xtd::drawing::text::text_rendering_hint

strong

Specifies the quality of text rendering.

Namespace

xtd::drawing::text

Library

xtd.drawing

Remarks

The quality ranges from text (fastest performance, but lowest quality) to antialiased text (better quality, but slower performance) to ClearType text (best quality on an LCD display).

Enumerator
system_default	Each character is drawn using its glyph bitmap, with the system default rendering hint. The text will be drawn using whatever font-smoothing settings the user has selected for the system.
single_bit_per_pixel_grid_fit	Each character is drawn using its glyph bitmap. Hinting is used to improve character appearance on stems and curvature.
single_bit_per_pixel	Each character is drawn using its glyph bitmap. Hinting is not used.
anti_alias_grid_fit	Each character is drawn using its antialiased glyph bitmap with hinting. Much better quality due to antialiasing, but at a higher performance cost.
anti_alias	Each character is drawn using its antialiased glyph bitmap without hinting. Better quality due to antialiasing. Stem width differences may be noticeable because hinting is turned off.
clear_type_grid_fit	Each character is drawn using its glyph ClearType bitmap with hinting. The highest quality setting. Used to take advantage of ClearType font features.
