Detailed Description

The font options specify how fonts should be rendered.

Most of the time the font options implied by a surface are just right and do not need any changes, but for pixel-based targets tweaking font options may result in superior output on a particular display.

Antialias Cairo::FontOptions::get_antialias

(

)

const

Gets the antialiasing mode for the font options object.

Returns

the antialiasing mode

HintMetrics Cairo::FontOptions::get_hint_metrics

(

)

const

Gets the metrics hinting mode for the font options object.

See the documentation for HintMetrics for full details.

Return value: the metrics hinting mode for the font options object.

HintStyle Cairo::FontOptions::get_hint_style

(

)

const

Gets the hint style for font outlines for the font options object.

See the documentation for HintStyle for full details.

Returns

the hint style for the font options object.

SubpixelOrder Cairo::FontOptions::get_subpixel_order

(

)

const

Gets the subpixel order for the font options object.

See the documentation for SubpixelOrder for full details.

Returns

the subpixel order for the font options object.

unsigned long Cairo::FontOptions::hash

(

)

const

Compute a hash for the font options object; this value will be useful when storing an object containing a FontOptions in a hash table.

Returns

the hash value for the font options object. The return value can be cast to a 32-bit type if a 32-bit hash value is needed.

void Cairo::FontOptions::merge

(

const FontOptions&

other

)

Merges non-default options from other into this, replacing existing values.

This operation can be thought of as somewhat similar to compositing other onto this with the operation of OPERATION_OVER.

Parameters

other

another FontOptions

FontOptions& Cairo::FontOptions::operator=

(

const FontOptions&

src

)

bool Cairo::FontOptions::operator==

(

const FontOptions&

src

)

const

void Cairo::FontOptions::set_antialias

(

Antialias

antialias

)

Sets the antialiasing mode for the font options object.

This specifies the type of antialiasing to do when rendering text.

Parameters

antialias

the new antialiasing mode.

void Cairo::FontOptions::set_hint_metrics

(

HintMetrics

hint_metrics

)

Sets the metrics hinting mode for the font options object.

This controls whether metrics are quantized to integer values in device units. See the documentation for HintMetrics for full details.

Parameters

hint_metrics

the new metrics hinting mode.

void Cairo::FontOptions::set_hint_style

(

HintStyle

hint_style

)

Sets the hint style for font outlines for the font options object.

This controls whether to fit font outlines to the pixel grid, and if so, whether to optimize for fidelity or contrast. See the documentation for HintStyle for full details.

Parameters

hint_style

the new hint style.

void Cairo::FontOptions::set_subpixel_order

(

SubpixelOrder

subpixel_order

)

Sets the subpixel order for the font options object.

The subpixel order specifies the order of color elements within each pixel on the display device when rendering with an antialiasing mode of Cairo::ANTIALIAS_SUBPIXEL. See the documentation for SubpixelOrder for full details.

Parameters

subpixel_order

the new subpixel order.
