Function Reference


_GDIPlus_GraphicsSetTextRenderingHint

Sets the contrast value of a Graphics object

#include <GDIPlus.au3>
_GDIPlus_GraphicsSetTextRenderingHint ( $hGraphics, $iTextRenderingHint )

Parameters

$hGraphics Pointer to a Graphics object
$iTextRenderingHint Text rendering mode:
    $GDIP_TEXTRENDERINGHINTSYSTEMDEFAULT (0) - Character is drawn using the currently selected system font smoothing mode (also called a rendering hint).
    $GDIP_TEXTRENDERINGHINTSINGLEBITPERPIXELGRIDFIT (1) - Character is drawn using its glyph bitmap and hinting to improve character appearance on stems and curvature.
    $GDIP_TEXTRENDERINGHINTSINGLEBITPERPIXEL (2) - Character is drawn using its glyph bitmap and no hinting. This results in better performance at the expense of quality.
    $GDIP_TEXTRENDERINGHINTANTIALIASGRIDFIT (3) - Character is drawn using its antialiased glyph bitmap and hinting. This results in much better quality due to antialiasing at a higher performance cost.
    $GDIP_TEXTRENDERINGHINTANTIALIAS (4) - Character is drawn using its antialiased glyph bitmap and no hinting. Stem width differences may be noticeable because hinting is turned off.
    $GDIP_TEXTRENDERINGHINTCLEARTYPEGRIDFIT (5) - Character is drawn using its glyph Microsoft ClearType bitmap and hinting. This type of text rendering cannot be used along with $GDIP_COMPOSITINGMODESOURCECOPY.

Return Value

Success: True.
Failure: False and sets the @error flag to non-zero, @extended may contain GPSTATUS error code ($GPIP_ERR* see GPIPlusConstants.au3).
