FT_PIXEL_MODES¶
An enumeration type that lists the render modes supported by FreeType 2. Each mode corresponds to a specific type of scanline conversion performed on the outline.
- FT_PIXEL_MODE_NONE¶
Value 0 is reserved.
- FT_PIXEL_MODE_MONO¶
A monochrome bitmap, using 1 bit per pixel. Note that pixels are stored in most-significant order (MSB), which means that the left-most pixel in a byte has value 128.
- FT_PIXEL_MODE_GRAY¶
An 8-bit bitmap, generally used to represent anti-aliased glyph images. Each pixel is stored in one byte. Note that the number of ‘gray’ levels is stored in the ‘num_grays’ field of the FT_Bitmap structure (it generally is 256).
- FT_PIXEL_MODE_GRAY2¶
A 2-bit per pixel bitmap, used to represent embedded anti-aliased bitmaps in font files according to the OpenType specification. We haven’t found a single font using this format, however.
- FT_PIXEL_MODE_GRAY4¶
A 4-bit per pixel bitmap, representing embedded anti-aliased bitmaps in font files according to the OpenType specification. We haven’t found a single font using this format, however.
- FT_PIXEL_MODE_LCD¶
An 8-bit bitmap, representing RGB or BGR decimated glyph images used for display on LCD displays; the bitmap is three times wider than the original glyph image. See also FT_RENDER_MODE_LCD.
- FT_PIXEL_MODE_LCD_V¶
An 8-bit bitmap, representing RGB or BGR decimated glyph images used for display on rotated LCD displays; the bitmap is three times taller than the original glyph image. See also FT_RENDER_MODE_LCD_V.
