FontOptions

FontOptions - How a font should be rendered

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.

Warning: Instances must be created with the create static member function!

auto options = FontOptions.create(); //Correct
options.toHash();

FontOptions options; //Wrong
options.toHash();

FontOptions options;
options = FontOptions.create(); //Correct
options.toHash();

Constructors

this this(cairo_font_options_t* ptr): Create FontOptions from a existing cairo_font_options_t*. FontOptions is a reference counted struct. It will call cairo_font_options_destroy when it's reference count is 0. See https://github.com/jpf91/cairoD/wiki/Memory-Management#2.2-structs for more information.

Functions

copy FontOptions copy(): Allocates a new font options object copying the option values from original.
getAntiAlias AntiAlias getAntiAlias(): Gets the antialiasing mode for the font options object.
getHintMetrics HintMetrics getHintMetrics(): Gets the metrics hinting mode for the font options object. See the documentation for HintMetrics for full details.
getHintStyle HintStyle getHintStyle(): Gets the hint style for font outlines for the font options object. See the documentation for HintStyle for full details.
getSubpixelOrder SubpixelOrder getSubpixelOrder(): Gets the subpixel order for the font options object. See the documentation for SubpixelOrder for full details.
merge void merge(FontOptions other): Merges non-default options from other into this object, replacing existing values. This operation can be thought of as somewhat similar to compositing other onto options with the operation of CAIRO_OPERATION_OVER.
opEquals bool opEquals(const(FontOptions) other): Compares two font options objects for equality.
setAntiAlias void setAntiAlias(AntiAlias antialias): Sets the antialiasing mode for the font options object. This specifies the type of antialiasing to do when rendering text.
setHintMetrics void setHintMetrics(HintMetrics 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.
setHintStyle void setHintStyle(HintStyle 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.
setSubpixelOrder void setSubpixelOrder(SubpixelOrder 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.
toHash size_t toHash(): Compute a hash for the font options object; this value will be useful when storing an object containing a FontOptions in a hash table.
