All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Comparable<HintStyle>, Constable

public enum HintStyle
extends Enum<HintStyle>

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.

New entries may be added in future versions.

Enum Constant Summary

Enum Constants

Enum Constant	Description
DEFAULT	Use the default hint style for font backend and target device
FULL	Hint outlines to maximize contrast
MEDIUM	Hint outlines with medium strength giving a compromise between fidelity to the original shapes and contrast
NONE	Do not hint outlines
SLIGHT	Hint outlines slightly to improve contrast while retaining good fidelity to the original shapes

Method Summary

Method Details

values

public static HintStyle[] values()

Returns an array containing the constants of this enum class, in the order they are declared.

Returns:

an array containing the constants of this enum class, in the order they are declared

valueOf

public static HintStyle valueOf(String name)

Returns the enum constant of this class with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this class. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)

Parameters:

name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.

Returns:

the enum constant with the specified name

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if this enum class has no constant with the specified name

NullPointerException - if the argument is null

getValue

public int getValue()

Return the value of this enum

Returns:

the value

of

public static HintStyle of(int ordinal)

Returns the enum constant for the given ordinal (its position in the enum declaration).

Parameters:

ordinal - the position in the enum declaration, starting from zero

Returns:

the enum constant for the given ordinal

getType

public static org.gnome.glib.Type getType()

Get the CairoHintStyle GType

Returns:

the GType
