SkPaint Reference
===

# <a name='Paint'>Paint</a>

# <a name='SkPaint'>Class SkPaint</a>
<a href='#Paint'>Paint</a> controls options applied when drawing and measuring. <a href='#Paint'>Paint</a> collects all
options outside of the <a href='SkCanvas_Reference#Clip'>Canvas Clip</a> and <a href='SkCanvas_Reference#Matrix'>Canvas Matrix</a>.

Various options apply to text, strokes and fills, and images.

Some options may not be implemented on all platforms; in these cases, setting
the option has no effect. Some options are conveniences that duplicate <a href='SkCanvas_Reference#Canvas'>Canvas</a>
functionality; for instance, text size is identical to matrix scale.

<a href='#Paint'>Paint</a> options are rarely exclusive; each option modifies a stage of the drawing
pipeline and multiple pipeline stages may be affected by a single <a href='#Paint'>Paint</a>.

<a href='#Paint'>Paint</a> collects effects and filters that describe single-pass and multiple-pass
algorithms that alter the drawing geometry, color, and transparency. For instance,
<a href='#Paint'>Paint</a> does not directly implement dashing or blur, but contains the objects that do so.

The objects contained by <a href='#Paint'>Paint</a> are opaque, and cannot be edited outside of the <a href='#Paint'>Paint</a>
to affect it. The implementation is free to defer computations associated with the
<a href='#Paint'>Paint</a>, or ignore them altogether. For instance, some GPU implementations draw all
<a href='SkPath_Reference#Path'>Path</a> geometries with <a href='#Anti_Alias'>Anti Aliasing</a>, regardless of how <a href='#SkPaint_kAntiAlias_Flag'>SkPaint::kAntiAlias Flag</a>
is set in <a href='#Paint'>Paint</a>.

<a href='#Paint'>Paint</a> describes a single color, a single font, a single image quality, and so on.
Multiple colors are drawn either by using multiple paints or with objects like
<a href='undocumented#Shader'>Shader</a> attached to <a href='#Paint'>Paint</a>.

Leaves glyph outlines unchanged from their native representation.
With FreeType, this is equivalent to the FT_LOAD_NO_HINTING

Modifies glyph outlines minimally to improve constrast.
With FreeType, this is equivalent in spirit to the

choosing the default hinting algorithm, which is optimized for standard
gray-level rendering.

    <td style='text-align: left; border: 2px solid #dddddd; padding: 8px; '>
Modifies glyph outlines for maximum constrast. With FreeType, this selects
FT_LOAD_TARGET_LCD or FT_LOAD_TARGET_LCD_V if <a href='#SkPaint_kLCDRenderText_Flag'>kLCDRenderText Flag</a> is set.

On <a href='undocumented#OS_X'>OS X</a> and iOS, hinting controls whether <a href='undocumented#Core_Graphics'>Core Graphics</a> dilates the font outlines
to account for LCD text. No hinting uses <a href='undocumented#Core_Text'>Core Text</a> <a href='undocumented#Grayscale'>Grayscale</a> output.
Normal hinting uses <a href='undocumented#Core_Text'>Core Text</a> LCD output. If <a href='#SkPaint_kLCDRenderText_Flag'>kLCDRenderText Flag</a> is clear,
the LCD output is reduced to a single <a href='undocumented#Grayscale'>Grayscale</a> channel.

On Windows with DirectWrite, <a href='#SkPaint_Hinting'>Hinting</a> has no effect.

<a href='#SkPaint_Hinting'>Hinting</a> defaults to <a href='#SkPaint_kNormal_Hinting'>kNormal Hinting</a>.

## <a name='Anti_Alias'>Anti Alias</a>

<a href='#Anti_Alias'>Anti Alias</a> drawing approximates partial pixel coverage with transparency.
If <a href='#SkPaint_kAntiAlias_Flag'>kAntiAlias Flag</a> is clear, pixel centers contained by the shape edge are drawn opaque.
If <a href='#SkPaint_kAntiAlias_Flag'>kAntiAlias Flag</a> is set, pixels are drawn with <a href='SkColor_Reference#Alpha'>Color Alpha</a> equal to their coverage.

The rule for <a href='undocumented#Alias'>Aliased</a> pixels is inconsistent across platforms. A shape edge
passing through the pixel center may, but is not required to, draw the pixel.

<a href='undocumented#Raster_Engine'>Raster Engine</a> draws <a href='undocumented#Alias'>Aliased</a> pixels whose centers are on or to the right of the start of an
active <a href='SkPath_Reference#Path'>Path</a> edge, and whose center is to the left of the end of the active <a href='SkPath_Reference#Path'>Path</a> edge.

A platform may only support <a href='#Anti_Alias'>Anti Aliased</a> drawing. Some GPU-backed platforms use
<a href='undocumented#Supersampling'>Supersampling</a> to <a href='#Anti_Alias'>Anti Alias</a> all drawing, and have no mechanism to selectively
<a href='undocumented#Alias'>Alias</a>.

The amount of coverage computed for <a href='#Anti_Alias'>Anti Aliased</a> pixels also varies across platforms.

<a href='#Anti_Alias'>Anti Alias</a> is disabled by default.
<a href='#Anti_Alias'>Anti Alias</a> can be enabled by default by setting <a href='undocumented#SkPaintDefaults_Flags'>SkPaintDefaults Flags</a> to <a href='#SkPaint_kAntiAlias_Flag'>kAntiAlias Flag</a>

## <a name='Dither'>Dither</a>

<a href='#Dither'>Dither</a> increases fidelity by adjusting the color of adjacent pixels.
This can help to smooth color transitions and reducing banding in gradients.
Dithering lessens visible banding from <a href='SkImageInfo_Reference#kRGB_565_SkColorType'>kRGB_565_SkColorType</a>
and <a href='SkImageInfo_Reference#kRGBA_8888_SkColorType'>kRGBA_8888_SkColorType</a> gradients,
and improves rendering into a <a href='SkImageInfo_Reference#kRGB_565_SkColorType'>kRGB_565_SkColorType</a> <a href='SkSurface_Reference#Surface'>Surface</a>.

Dithering is always enabled for linear gradients drawing into
<a href='SkImageInfo_Reference#kRGB_565_SkColorType'>kRGB_565_SkColorType</a> <a href='SkSurface_Reference#Surface'>Surface</a> and <a href='SkImageInfo_Reference#kRGBA_8888_SkColorType'>kRGBA_8888_SkColorType</a> <a href='SkSurface_Reference#Surface'>Surface</a>.

<a href='SkImageInfo_Reference#kRGBA_F16_SkColorType'>kRGBA_F16_SkColorType</a> <a href='SkSurface_Reference#Surface'>Surface</a>.

<a href='#Dither'>Dither</a> is disabled by default.
<a href='#Dither'>Dither</a> can be enabled by default by setting <a href='undocumented#SkPaintDefaults_Flags'>SkPaintDefaults Flags</a> to <a href='#SkPaint_kDither_Flag'>kDither Flag</a>
at compile time.

Some platform implementations may ignore dithering. SetSK_IGNORE_GPU_DITHERto ignore <a href='#Dither'>Dither</a> on <a href='undocumented#GPU_Surface'>GPU Surface</a>.

<a href='#LCD_Text'>LCD Text</a> and <a href='#Subpixel_Text'>Subpixel Text</a> increase the precision of glyph position.

When set, <a href='#SkPaint_Flags'>Flags</a> <a href='#SkPaint_kLCDRenderText_Flag'>kLCDRenderText Flag</a> takes advantage of the organization of RGB stripes that
create a color, and relies
on the small size of the stripe and visual perception to make the color fringing imperceptible.
<a href='#LCD_Text'>LCD Text</a> can be enabled on devices that orient stripes horizontally or vertically, and that order
the color components as RGB or BGR.

<a href='#SkPaint_Flags'>Flags</a> <a href='#SkPaint_kSubpixelText_Flag'>kSubpixelText Flag</a> uses the pixel transparency to represent a fractional offset.
As the opaqueness
of the color increases, the edge of the glyph appears to move towards the outside of the pixel.

Either or both techniques can be enabled.
<a href='#SkPaint_kLCDRenderText_Flag'>kLCDRenderText Flag</a> and <a href='#SkPaint_kSubpixelText_Flag'>kSubpixelText Flag</a> are clear by default.
<a href='#LCD_Text'>LCD Text</a> or <a href='#Subpixel_Text'>Subpixel Text</a> can be enabled by default by setting <a href='undocumented#SkPaintDefaults_Flags'>SkPaintDefaults Flags</a> to
<a href='#SkPaint_kLCDRenderText_Flag'>kLCDRenderText Flag</a> or <a href='#SkPaint_kSubpixelText_Flag'>kSubpixelText Flag</a> (or both) at compile time.

## <a name='LCD_Text'>LCD Text</a>

When set, <a href='#SkPaint_Flags'>Flags</a> <a href='#SkPaint_kLCDRenderText_Flag'>kLCDRenderText Flag</a> takes advantage of the organization of RGB stripes that
create a color, and relies
on the small size of the stripe and visual perception to make the color fringing imperceptible.
<a href='#LCD_Text'>LCD Text</a> can be enabled on devices that orient stripes horizontally or vertically, and that order
the color components as RGB or BGR.

## <a name='Font_Embedded_Bitmaps'>Font Embedded Bitmaps</a>

<a href='#Font_Embedded_Bitmaps'>Font Embedded Bitmaps</a> allows selecting custom sized bitmap <a href='undocumented#Glyph'>Glyphs</a>.
<a href='#SkPaint_Flags'>Flags</a> <a href='#SkPaint_kEmbeddedBitmapText_Flag'>kEmbeddedBitmapText Flag</a> when set chooses an embedded bitmap glyph over an outline contained

FreeType selects the bitmap glyph if available when <a href='#SkPaint_kEmbeddedBitmapText_Flag'>kEmbeddedBitmapText Flag</a> is set, and selects
the outline glyph if <a href='#SkPaint_kEmbeddedBitmapText_Flag'>kEmbeddedBitmapText Flag</a> is clear.
Windows may select the bitmap glyph but is not required to do so.
<a href='undocumented#OS_X'>OS X</a> and iOS do not support this option.

<a href='#Font_Embedded_Bitmaps'>Font Embedded Bitmaps</a> is disabled by default.
<a href='#Font_Embedded_Bitmaps'>Font Embedded Bitmaps</a> can be enabled by default by setting <a href='undocumented#SkPaintDefaults_Flags'>SkPaintDefaults Flags</a> to
<a href='#SkPaint_kEmbeddedBitmapText_Flag'>kEmbeddedBitmapText Flag</a> at compile time.

## <a name='Vertical_Text'>Vertical Text</a>

<a href='undocumented#Text'>Text</a> may be drawn by positioning each glyph, or by positioning the first glyph and
using <a href='undocumented#Advance'>Font Advance</a> to position subsequent <a href='undocumented#Glyph'>Glyphs</a>. By default, each successive glyph
is positioned to the right of the preceding glyph. <a href='#Vertical_Text'>Vertical Text</a> sets successive
<a href='undocumented#Glyph'>Glyphs</a> to position below the preceding glyph.

Skia can translate text character codes as a series of <a href='undocumented#Glyph'>Glyphs</a>, but does not implement
font substitution,
textual substitution, line layout, or contextual spacing like <a href='undocumented#Kerning'>Kerning</a> pairs. Use
a text shaping engine like <a href='https://harfbuzz.org/'>HarfBuzz</a></a> to translate text runs
into glyph series.

<a href='#Vertical_Text'>Vertical Text</a> is clear if text is drawn left to right or set if drawn from top to bottom.

<a href='#SkPaint_Flags'>Flags</a> <a href='#SkPaint_kVerticalText_Flag'>kVerticalText Flag</a> if clear draws text left to right.
<a href='#SkPaint_Flags'>Flags</a> <a href='#SkPaint_kVerticalText_Flag'>kVerticalText Flag</a> if set draws text top to bottom.

<a href='#Vertical_Text'>Vertical Text</a> is clear by default.

## <a name='Fake_Bold'>Fake Bold</a>

<a href='#Fake_Bold'>Fake Bold</a> approximates the bold font style accompanying a normal font when a bold font face
is not available. Skia does not provide font substitution; it is up to the client to find the
bold font face using the platform <a href='undocumented#Font_Manager'>Font Manager</a>.

Use <a href='#Text_Skew_X'>Text Skew X</a> to approximate an italic font style when the italic font face
is not available.

A FreeType based port may define SK_USE_FREETYPE_EMBOLDEN at compile time to direct
the font engine to create the bold <a href='undocumented#Glyph'>Glyphs</a>. Otherwise, the extra bold is computed
by increasing the stroke width and setting the <a href='#SkPaint_Style'>Style</a> to <a href='#SkPaint_kStrokeAndFill_Style'>kStrokeAndFill Style</a> as needed.

<a href='#Fake_Bold'>Fake Bold</a> is disabled by default.

## <a name='Style'>Style</a>

<a href='#SkPaint_Style'>Style</a> specifies if the geometry is filled, stroked, or both filled and stroked.
Some shapes ignore <a href='#SkPaint_Style'>Style</a> and are always drawn filled or stroked.

Set <a href='#SkPaint_Style'>Style</a> to <a href='#SkPaint_kFill_Style'>kFill Style</a> to fill the shape.
The fill covers the area inside the geometry for most shapes.

Set <a href='#SkPaint_Style'>Style</a> to <a href='#SkPaint_kStroke_Style'>kStroke Style</a> to stroke the shape.

## <a name='Style_Fill'>Style Fill</a>

### See Also

<a href='SkPath_Reference#Fill_Type'>Path Fill Type</a>

## <a name='Style_Stroke'>Style Stroke</a>

The stroke covers the area described by following the shape edge with a pen or brush of
<a href='#Stroke_Width'>Stroke Width</a>. The area covered where the shape starts and stops is described by <a href='#Stroke_Cap'>Stroke Cap</a>.
The area covered where the shape turns a corner is described by <a href='#Stroke_Join'>Stroke Join</a>.
The stroke is centered on the shape; it extends equally on either side of the shape edge.

As <a href='#Stroke_Width'>Stroke Width</a> gets smaller, the drawn path frame is thinner. <a href='#Stroke_Width'>Stroke Width</a> less than one
may have gaps, and if <a href='#SkPaint_kAntiAlias_Flag'>kAntiAlias Flag</a> is set, <a href='SkColor_Reference#Alpha'>Color Alpha</a> will increase to visually decrease coverage.

## <a name='Style_Hairline'>Style Hairline</a>

<a href='#Stroke_Width'>Stroke Width</a> of zero has a special meaning and switches drawing to use <a href='#Style_Hairline'>Hairline</a>.
<a href='#Style_Hairline'>Hairline</a> draws the thinnest continuous frame. If <a href='#SkPaint_kAntiAlias_Flag'>kAntiAlias Flag</a> is clear, adjacent pixels
flow horizontally, vertically,or diagonally.

<a href='SkPath_Reference#Path'>Path</a> drawing with <a href='#Style_Hairline'>Hairline</a> may hit the same pixel more than once. For instance, <a href='SkPath_Reference#Path'>Path</a> containing
two lines in one <a href='SkPath_Reference#Contour'>Path Contour</a> will draw the corner point once, but may both lines may draw the adjacent
pixel. If <a href='#SkPaint_kAntiAlias_Flag'>kAntiAlias Flag</a> is set, transparency is applied twice, resulting in a darker pixel. Some
GPU-backed implementations apply transparency at a later drawing stage, avoiding double hit pixels
while stroking.

## <a name='SkPaint_Style'>Enum SkPaint::Style</a>

<pre style="padding: 1em 1em 1em 1em;width: 62.5em; background-color: #f0f0f0">
    enum <a href='#SkPaint_Style'>Style</a> {
        <a href='#SkPaint_kFill_Style'>kFill Style</a>,
        <a href='#SkPaint_kStroke_Style'>kStroke Style</a>,
        <a href='#SkPaint_kStrokeAndFill_Style'>kStrokeAndFill Style</a>,
    };

    static constexpr int <a href='#SkPaint_kStyleCount'>kStyleCount</a> = <a href='#SkPaint_kStrokeAndFill_Style'>kStrokeAndFill Style</a> + 1;
</pre>

Set <a href='#SkPaint_Style'>Style</a> to fill, stroke, or both fill and stroke geometry.
The stroke and fill
share all paint attributes; for instance, they are drawn with the same color.

Use <a href='#SkPaint_kStrokeAndFill_Style'>kStrokeAndFill Style</a> to avoid hitting the same pixels twice with a stroke draw and
a fill draw.

## <a name='Stroke_Width'>Stroke Width</a>

<a href='#Stroke_Width'>Stroke Width</a> sets the width for stroking. The width is the thickness
of the stroke perpendicular to the path direction when the paint style is
set to <a href='#SkPaint_kStroke_Style'>kStroke Style</a> or <a href='#SkPaint_kStrokeAndFill_Style'>kStrokeAndFill Style</a>.

When width is greater than zero, the stroke encompasses as many pixels partially
or fully as needed. When the width equals zero, the paint enables hairlines;
the stroke is always one pixel wide.

The stroke dimensions are scaled by the canvas matrix, but <a href='#Style_Hairline'>Hairline</a> stroke
remains one pixel wide regardless of scaling.

The default width for the paint is zero.

## <a name='Miter_Limit'>Miter Limit</a>

<a href='#Miter_Limit'>Miter Limit</a> specifies the maximum miter length,
relative to the stroke width.

<a href='#Miter_Limit'>Miter Limit</a> is used when the <a href='#Stroke_Join'>Stroke Join</a>
is set to <a href='#SkPaint_kMiter_Join'>kMiter Join</a>, and the <a href='#SkPaint_Style'>Style</a> is either <a href='#SkPaint_kStroke_Style'>kStroke Style</a>
or <a href='#SkPaint_kStrokeAndFill_Style'>kStrokeAndFill Style</a>.

If the miter at a corner exceeds this limit, <a href='#SkPaint_kMiter_Join'>kMiter Join</a>
is replaced with <a href='#SkPaint_kBevel_Join'>kBevel Join</a>.

<a href='#Miter_Limit'>Miter Limit</a> can be computed from the corner angle:

miter limit = 1 / sin ( angle / 2 )<a href='#Miter_Limit'>Miter Limit</a> default value is 4.
The default may be changed at compile time by setting <a href='undocumented#SkPaintDefaults_MiterLimit'>SkPaintDefaults MiterLimit</a>
in "SkUserConfig.h" or as a define supplied by the build environment.

Here are some miter limits and the angles that triggers them.

| miter limit | angle in degrees |

| 10 | 11.48 |
| 9 | 12.76 |
| 8 | 14.36 |

Stroke describes the area covered by a pen of <a href='#Stroke_Width'>Stroke Width</a> as it
follows the <a href='SkPath_Reference#Contour'>Path Contour</a>, moving parallel to the contour direction.

If the <a href='SkPath_Reference#Contour'>Path Contour</a> is not terminated by <a href='SkPath_Reference#SkPath_kClose_Verb'>SkPath::kClose Verb</a>, the contour has a
visible beginning and end.

<a href='SkPath_Reference#Contour'>Path Contour</a> may start and end at the same point; defining <a href='SkPath_Reference#Contour_Zero_Length'>Zero Length Contour</a>.

## <a name='Stroke_Join'>Stroke Join</a>

<a href='#Stroke_Join'>Stroke Join</a> draws at the sharp corners of an open or closed <a href='SkPath_Reference#Contour'>Path Contour</a>.

Stroke describes the area covered by a pen of <a href='#Stroke_Width'>Stroke Width</a> as it
follows the <a href='SkPath_Reference#Contour'>Path Contour</a>, moving parallel to the contour direction.

If the contour direction changes abruptly, because the tangent direction leading

<a href='#SkPaint_Join'>Join</a> specifies how corners are drawn when a shape is stroked. <a href='#SkPaint_Join'>Join</a>
affects the four corners of a stroked rectangle, and the connected segments in a
stroked path.

Choose miter join to draw sharp corners. Choose round join to draw a circle with a
radius equal to the stroke width on top of the corner. Choose bevel join to minimally
connect the thick strokes.

The fill path constructed to describe the stroked path respects the join setting but may
not contain the actual join. For instance, a fill path constructed with round joins does
not necessarily include circles at each connected segment.

as well as calls that place text <a href='undocumented#Glyph'>Glyphs</a> like <a href='#SkPaint_getTextWidths'>getTextWidths</a> and <a href='#SkPaint_getTextPath'>getTextPath</a>.

The text position is set by the font for both horizontal and vertical text.
Typically, for horizontal text, the position is to the left side of the glyph on the
base line; and for vertical text, the position is the horizontal center of the glyph
at the caps height.

<a href='#SkPaint_Align'>Align</a> adjusts the glyph position to center it or move it to abut the position
using the metrics returned by the font.

<a href='#SkPaint_Align'>Align</a> defaults to <a href='#SkPaint_kLeft_Align'>kLeft Align</a>.

## <a name='Font_Metrics'>Font Metrics</a>

<a href='#Font_Metrics'>Font Metrics</a> describe dimensions common to the <a href='undocumented#Glyph'>Glyphs</a> in <a href='undocumented#Typeface'>Typeface</a>.
The dimensions are computed by <a href='undocumented#Font_Manager'>Font Manager</a> from font data and do not take
<a href='#Paint'>Paint</a> settings other than <a href='#Text_Size'>Text Size</a> into account.

<a href='undocumented#Font'>Font</a> dimensions specify the anchor to the left of the glyph at baseline as the origin.
X-axis values to the left of the glyph are negative, and to the right of the left glyph edge
are positive.
Y-axis values above the baseline are negative, and below the baseline are positive.

</pre>

Only call this if <a href='#SkPaint_canComputeFastBounds'>canComputeFastBounds</a> returned true. This takes a
raw rectangle (the raw bounds of a shape), and adjusts it for stylistic
effects in the paint (e.g. stroking). If needed, it uses the <a href='#SkPaint_computeFastBounds_storage'>storage</a>
parameter. It returns the adjusted bounds that can then be used
for <a href='SkCanvas_Reference#SkCanvas_quickReject'>SkCanvas::quickReject</a> tests.

The returned <a href='SkRect_Reference#Rect'>Rect</a> will either be <a href='#SkPaint_computeFastBounds_orig'>orig</a> or <a href='#SkPaint_computeFastBounds_storage'>storage</a>, thus the caller
should not rely on <a href='#SkPaint_computeFastBounds_storage'>storage</a> being set to the result, but should always

Computes the bounds, overriding the <a href='#Paint'>Paint</a> <a href='#SkPaint_Style'>Style</a>. This can be used to
account for additional width required by stroking <a href='#SkPaint_doComputeFastBounds_orig'>orig</a>, without
altering <a href='#SkPaint_Style'>Style</a> set to fill.

### Parameters

<table>  <tr>    <td><a name='SkPaint_doComputeFastBounds_orig'><code><strong>orig</strong></code></a></td>
    <td>geometry modified by <a href='#Paint'>Paint</a> when drawn</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>    <td><a name='SkPaint_doComputeFastBounds_storage'><code><strong>storage</strong></code></a></td>
    <td>computed bounds of geometry</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>    <td><a name='SkPaint_doComputeFastBounds_style'><code><strong>style</strong></code></a></td>
    <td>overrides <a href='#SkPaint_Style'>Style</a></td>
  </tr>
</table>

### Return Value

fast computed bounds
