SkPaint Reference === # Paint # Class SkPaint Paint controls options applied when drawing and measuring. Paint collects all options outside of the Canvas Clip and Canvas Matrix. 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 Canvas functionality; for instance, text size is identical to matrix scale. Paint options are rarely exclusive; each option modifies a stage of the drawing pipeline and multiple pipeline stages may be affected by a single Paint. Paint collects effects and filters that describe single-pass and multiple-pass algorithms that alter the drawing geometry, color, and transparency. For instance, Paint does not directly implement dashing or blur, but contains the objects that do so. The objects contained by Paint are opaque, and cannot be edited outside of the Paint to affect it. The implementation is free to defer computations associated with the Paint, or ignore them altogether. For instance, some GPU implementations draw all Path geometries with Anti-aliasing, regardless of how SkPaint::kAntiAlias Flag is set in Paint. Paint 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 Shader attached to Paint. # Overview ## Subtopics | topics | description | | --- | --- | | Initializers | Constructors and initialization. | | Destructor | Paint termination. | | Management | Paint copying, moving, comparing. | | Hinting | Glyph outline adjustment. | | Flags | Attributes represented by single bits. | | Anti-alias | Approximating coverage with transparency. | | Dither | Distributing color error. | | Device Text | Increase precision of glyph position. | | Font Embedded Bitmaps | Custom sized bitmap Glyphs. | | Automatic Hinting | Always adjust glyph paths. | | Vertical Text | Orient text from top to bottom. | | Fake Bold | Approximate font styles. | | Full Hinting Spacing | Glyph spacing affected by hinting. | | Filter Quality Methods | Get and set Filter Quality. | | Color Methods | Get and set Color. | | Style | Geometry filling, stroking. | | Stroke Width | Thickness perpendicular to geometry. | | Miter Limit | Maximum length of stroked corners. | | Stroke Cap | Decorations at ends of open strokes. | | Stroke Join | Decoration at corners of strokes. | | Fill Path | Make Path from Path Effect, stroking. | | Shader Methods | Get and set Shader. | | Color Filter Methods | Get and set Color Filter. | | Blend Mode Methods | Get and set Blend Mode. | | Path Effect Methods | Get and set Path Effect. | | Mask Filter Methods | Get and set Mask Filter. | | Typeface Methods | Get and set Typeface. | | Rasterizer Methods | Get and set Rasterizer. | | Image Filter Methods | Get and set Image Filter. | | Draw Looper Methods | Get and set Draw Looper. | | Text Align | Text placement relative to position. | | Text Size | Overall height in points. | | Text Scale X | Text horizontal scale. | | Text Skew X | Text horizontal slant. | | Text Encoding | Text encoded as characters or Glyphs. | | Font Metrics | Common glyph dimensions. | | Measure Text | Width, height, bounds of text. | | Text Path | Geometry of Glyphs. | | Text Intercepts | Advanced underline, strike through. | | Fast Bounds | Approximate area required by Paint. | ## Constants | constants | description | | --- | --- | | Align | Glyph locations relative to text position. | | Cap | Start and end geometry on stroked shapes. | | Flags | Values described by bits and masks. | | FontMetrics::FontMetricsFlags | Valid Font Metrics. | | Hinting | Level of glyph outline adjustment. | | Join | Corner geometry on stroked shapes. | | Style | Stroke, fill, or both. | | TextEncoding | Character or glyph encoded size. | ## Structs | struct | description | | --- | --- | | FontMetrics | Typeface values. | ## Constructors | | description | | --- | --- | | SkPaint() | Constructs with default values. | | SkPaint(const SkPaint& paint) | Makes a shallow copy. | | SkPaint(SkPaint&& paint) | Moves paint without copying it. | | | Decreases Reference Count of owned objects. | ## Operators | operator | description | | --- | --- | | operator=(const SkPaint& paint) | Makes a shallow copy. | | operator=(SkPaint&& paint) | Moves paint without copying it. | | operator==(const SkPaint& a, const SkPaint& b) | Compares paints for equality. | | operator!=(const SkPaint& a, const SkPaint& b) | Compares paints for inequality. | ## Member Functions | function | description | | --- | --- | | breakText | Returns text that fits in a width. | | canComputeFastBounds | Returns true if settings allow for fast bounds computation. | | computeFastBounds | Returns fill bounds for quick reject tests. | | computeFastStrokeBounds | Returns stroke bounds for quick reject tests. | | containsText | Returns if all text corresponds to Glyphs. | | countText | Returns number of Glyphs in text. | | doComputeFastBounds | Returns bounds for quick reject tests. | | flatten | Serializes into a buffer. | | getAlpha | Returns Color Alpha, color opacity. | | getBlendMode | Returns Blend Mode, how colors combine with Device. | | getColor | Returns Color Alpha and Color RGB, one drawing color. | | getColorFilter | Returns Color Filter, how colors are altered. | | getDrawLooper | Returns Draw Looper, multiple layers. | | getFillPath | Returns fill path equivalent to stroke. | | getFilterQuality | Returns Filter Quality, image filtering level. | | getFlags | Returns Flags stored in a bit field. | | getFontBounds | Returns union all glyph bounds. | | getFontMetrics | Returns Typeface metrics scaled by text size. | | getFontSpacing | Returns recommended spacing between lines. | | getHash | Returns a shallow hash for equality checks. | | getHinting | Returns Hinting, glyph outline adjustment level. | | getImageFilter | Returns Image Filter, alter pixels;

The overrides may be included in "SkUserConfig.h" or predefined by the build system. ### Return Value default initialized Paint ### Example
--- ## SkPaint
SkPaint(const SkPaint& paint)
Makes a shallow copy of Paint. Typeface, Path Effect, Shader, Mask Filter, Color Filter, Rasterizer, Draw Looper, and Image Filter are shared between the original paint and the copy. Objects containing Reference Count increment their references by one. The referenced objects Path Effect, Shader, Mask Filter, Color Filter, Rasterizer, Draw Looper, and Image Filter cannot be modified after they are created. This prevents objects with Reference Count from being modified once Paint refers to them. ### Parameters
paint original to copy
### Return Value shallow copy of paint ### Example
#### Example Output ~~~~ SK_ColorRED == paint1.getColor() SK_ColorBLUE == paint2.getColor() ~~~~
--- ## SkPaint
SkPaint(SkPaint&& paint)
Implements a move constructor to avoid increasing the reference counts of objects referenced by the paint. After the call, paint is undefined, and can be safely destructed. ### Parameters
paint original to move
### Return Value content of paint ### Example
#### Example Output ~~~~ path effect unique: true ~~~~
--- ## reset
void reset()
Sets all Paint contents to their initial values. This is equivalent to replacing Paint with the result of SkPaint(). ### Example
#### Example Output ~~~~ paint1 == paint2 ~~~~
--- # Destructor ## ~SkPaint
~SkPaint()
Decreases Paint Reference Count of owned objects: Typeface, Path Effect, Shader, Mask Filter, Color Filter, Rasterizer, Draw Looper, and Image Filter. If the objects containing Reference Count go to zero, they are deleted. --- # Management ## operator=
SkPaint& operator=(const SkPaint& paint)
Makes a shallow copy of Paint. Typeface, Path Effect, Shader, Mask Filter, Color Filter, Rasterizer, Draw Looper, and Image Filter are shared between the original paint and the copy. Objects containing Reference Count in the prior destination are decreased by one, and the referenced objects are deleted if the resulting count is zero. Objects containing Reference Count in the parameter paint are increased by one. paint is unmodified. ### Parameters
paint original to copy
### Return Value content of paint ### Example
#### Example Output ~~~~ SK_ColorRED == paint1.getColor() SK_ColorRED == paint2.getColor() ~~~~
--- ## operator=
SkPaint& operator=(SkPaint&& paint)
Moves the paint to avoid increasing the reference counts of objects referenced by the paint parameter. Objects containing Reference Count in the prior destination are decreased by one; those objects are deleted if the resulting count is zero. After the call, paint is undefined, and can be safely destructed. ### Parameters
paint original to move
### Return Value content of paint ### Example
#### Example Output ~~~~ SK_ColorRED == paint2.getColor() ~~~~
--- ## operator==
bool operator==(const SkPaint& a, const SkPaint& b)
Compares a and b, and returns true if a and b are equivalent. May return false if Typeface, Path Effect, Shader, Mask Filter, Color Filter, Rasterizer, Draw Looper, or Image Filter have identical contents but different pointers. ### Parameters
a Paint to compare
b Paint to compare
### Return Value true if Paint pair are equivalent ### Example
#### Example Output ~~~~ paint1 == paint2 paint1 != paint2 ~~~~
--- ## operator!=
bool operator!=(const SkPaint& a, const SkPaint& b)
Compares a and b, and returns true if a and b are not equivalent. May return true if Typeface, Path Effect, Shader, Mask Filter, Color Filter, Rasterizer, Draw Looper, or Image Filter have identical contents but different pointers. ### Parameters
a Paint to compare
b Paint to compare
### Return Value true if Paint pair are not equivalent ### Example
#### Example Output ~~~~ paint1 == paint2 paint1 == paint2 ~~~~
--- ## getHash
uint32_t getHash() const
Returns a hash generated from Paint values and pointers. Identical hashes guarantee that the paints are equivalent, but differing hashes do not guarantee that the paints have differing contents. If operator==(const SkPaint& a, const SkPaint& b) returns true for two paints, their hashes are also equal. The hash returned is platform and implementation specific. ### Return Value a shallow hash ### Example
#### Example Output ~~~~ paint1 == paint2 paint1.getHash() == paint2.getHash() ~~~~
--- ## flatten
void flatten(SkWriteBuffer& buffer) const
Serializes Paint into a buffer. A companion unflatten call can reconstitute the paint at a later time. ### Parameters
buffer Write Buffer receiving the flattened Paint data
### Example
#### Example Output ~~~~ color = 0xffff0000 ~~~~
--- ## unflatten
void unflatten(SkReadBuffer& buffer)
Populates Paint, typically from a serialized stream, created by calling flatten at an earlier time. SkReadBuffer class is not public, so unflatten cannot be meaningfully called by the client. ### Parameters
buffer serialized data describing Paint content
### See Also SkReadBuffer --- # Hinting ## Enum SkPaint::Hinting
enum Hinting {
kNo Hinting            = 0,
kSlight Hinting        = 1,
kNormal Hinting        = 2,
kFull Hinting          = 3,
};
Hinting adjusts the glyph outlines so that the shape provides a uniform look at a given point size on font engines that support it. Hinting may have a muted effect or no effect at all depending on the platform. The four levels roughly control corresponding features on platforms that use FreeType as the Font Engine. ### Constants
SkPaint::kNo_Hinting 0Leaves glyph outlines unchanged from their native representation. With FreeType, this is equivalent to the FT LOAD NO HINTING bit-field constant supplied to FT Load Glyph, which indicates that the vector outline being loaded should not be fitted to the pixel grid but simply scaled to 26.6 fractional pixels.
SkPaint::kSlight_Hinting 1Modifies glyph outlines minimally to improve constrast. With FreeType, this is equivalent in spirit to the FT LOAD TARGET LIGHT value supplied to FT Load Glyph. It chooses a lighter hinting algorithm for non-monochrome modes. Generated Glyphs may be fuzzy but better resemble their original shape.
SkPaint::kNormal_Hinting 2Modifies glyph outlines to improve constrast. This is the default. With FreeType, this supplies FT LOAD TARGET NORMAL to FT Load Glyph, choosing the default hinting algorithm, which is optimized for standard gray-level rendering.
SkPaint::kFull_Hinting 3Modifies glyph outlines for maxiumum constrast. With FreeType, this selects FT LOAD TARGET LCD or FT LOAD TARGET LCD V if kLCDRenderText Flag is set. FT LOAD TARGET LCD is a variant of FT LOAD TARGET NORMAL optimized for horizontally decimated LCD displays; FT LOAD TARGET LCD V is a variant of FT LOAD TARGET NORMAL optimized for vertically decimated LCD displays.
On Windows with DirectWrite, Hinting has no effect. Hinting defaults to kNormal Hinting. Set SkPaintDefaults Hinting at compile time to change the default setting. ## getHinting
Hinting getHinting() const
Returns level of glyph outline adjustment. ### Return Value one of: kNo Hinting, kSlight Hinting, kNormal Hinting, kFull Hinting ### Example
#### Example Output ~~~~ SkPaint::kNormal_Hinting == paint.getHinting() ~~~~
--- ## setHinting
void setHinting(Hinting hintingLevel)
Sets level of glyph outline adjustment. Does not check for valid values of hintingLevel. | Hinting | value | effect on generated glyph outlines | | --- | --- | --- | | kNo Hinting | 0 | leaves glyph outlines unchanged from their native representation | | kSlight Hinting | 1 | modifies glyph outlines minimally to improve contrast | | kNormal Hinting | 2 | modifies glyph outlines to improve contrast | | kFull Hinting | 3 | modifies glyph outlines for maximum contrast | ### Parameters
hintingLevel one of: kNo Hinting, kSlight Hinting, kNormal Hinting, kFull Hinting
### Example
#### Example Output ~~~~ paint1 == paint2 ~~~~

### See Also Flags getFlags ## getFlags
uint32_t getFlags() const
Returns paint settings described by Flags. Each setting uses one bit, and can be tested with Flags members. ### Return Value zero, one, or more bits described by Flags ### Example
#### Example Output ~~~~ (SkPaint::kAntiAlias_Flag & paint.getFlags()) != 0 ~~~~
--- ## setFlags
void setFlags(uint32_t flags)

flags union of Flags for Paint
### Example
#### Example Output ~~~~ paint.isAntiAlias() paint.isDither() ~~~~
--- # Anti-alias Anti-alias drawing approximates partial pixel coverage with transparency. If kAntiAlias Flag is clear, pixel centers contained by the shape edge are drawn opaque. If kAntiAlias Flag is set, pixels are drawn with Color Alpha equal to their coverage. The rule for Aliased pixels is inconsistent across platforms. A shape edge passing through the pixel center may, but is not required to, draw the pixel. Raster Engine draws Aliased pixels whose centers are on or to the right of the start of an active Path edge, and whose center is to the left of the end of the active Path edge. A platform may only support Anti-aliased drawing. Some GPU-backed platforms use Supersampling to Anti-alias all drawing, and have no mechanism to selectively Alias. The amount of coverage computed for Anti-aliased pixels also varies across platforms. Anti-alias is disabled by default. Anti-alias can be enabled by default by setting SkPaintDefaults Flags to kAntiAlias Flag at compile time. ### Example
A red line is drawn with transparency on the edges to make it look smoother. A blue line draws only where the pixel centers are contained. The lines are drawn into Bitmap, then drawn magnified to make the Aliasing easier to see.
## isAntiAlias
bool isAntiAlias() const
If true, pixels on the active edges of Path may be drawn with partial transparency. Equivalent to getFlags masked with kAntiAlias Flag. ### Return Value kAntiAlias Flag state ### Example
#### Example Output ~~~~ paint.isAntiAlias() == !!(paint.getFlags() & SkPaint::kAntiAlias_Flag) paint.isAntiAlias() == !!(paint.getFlags() & SkPaint::kAntiAlias_Flag) ~~~~
--- ## setAntiAlias
void setAntiAlias(bool aa)
Requests, but does not require, that Path edge pixels draw opaque or with partial transparency. Sets kAntiAlias Flag if aa is true. Clears kAntiAlias Flag if aa is false. ### Parameters
aa setting for kAntiAlias Flag
### Example
#### Example Output ~~~~ paint1 == paint2 ~~~~
--- # Dither Dither 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 kRGB 565 SkColorType and kRGBA 8888 SkColorType gradients, and improves rendering into a kRGB 565 SkColorType Surface. Dithering is always enabled for linear gradients drawing into kRGB 565 SkColorType Surface and kRGBA 8888 SkColorType Surface. Dither cannot be enabled for kAlpha 8 SkColorType Surface and kRGBA F16 SkColorType Surface. Dither is disabled by default. Dither can be enabled by default by setting SkPaintDefaults Flags to kDither Flag at compile time. Some platform implementations may ignore dithering. Setto ignore Dither on GPU Surface. ### Example
Dithering in the bottom half more closely approximates the requested color by alternating nearby colors from pixel to pixel.
### Example
Dithering introduces subtle adjustments to color to smooth gradients. Drawing the gradient repeatedly with SkBlendMode::kPlus exaggerates the dither, making it easier to see.
## isDither
bool isDither() const
If true, color error may be distributed to smooth color transition. Equivalent to getFlags masked with kDither Flag. ### Return Value kDither Flag state ### Example
#### Example Output ~~~~ paint.isDither() == !!(paint.getFlags() & SkPaint::kDither_Flag) paint.isDither() == !!(paint.getFlags() & SkPaint::kDither_Flag) ~~~~
--- ## setDither
void setDither(bool dither)
Requests, but does not require, to distribute color error. Sets kDither Flag if dither is true. Clears kDither Flag if dither is false. ### Parameters
dither setting for kDither Flag
### Example
#### Example Output ~~~~ paint1 == paint2 ~~~~
### See Also kRGB 565 SkColorType --- ### See Also Gradient Color RGB-565 # Device Text LCD Text and Subpixel Text increase the precision of glyph position. When set, Flags kLCDRenderText Flag takes advantage of the organization of Color RGB stripes that create a color, and relies on the small size of the stripe and visual perception to make the color fringing imperceptible. LCD Text can be enabled on devices that orient stripes horizontally or vertically, and that order the color components as Color RGB or Color RBG. Flags kSubpixelText Flag 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. kLCDRenderText Flag and kSubpixelText Flag are clear by default. LCD Text or Subpixel Text can be enabled by default by setting SkPaintDefaults Flags to kLCDRenderText Flag or kSubpixelText Flag (or both) at compile time. ### Example
Four commas are drawn normally and with combinations of LCD Text and Subpixel Text. When Subpixel Text is disabled, the comma Glyphs are identical, but not evenly spaced. When Subpixel Text is enabled, the comma Glyphs are unique, but appear evenly spaced.
## Linear Text Linear Text selects whether text is rendered as a Glyph or as a Path. If kLinearText Flag is set, it has the same effect as setting Hinting to kNormal Hinting. If kLinearText Flag is clear, it is the same as setting Hinting to kNo Hinting. ## isLinearText
bool isLinearText() const
If true, text is converted to Path before drawing and measuring. Equivalent to getFlags masked with kLinearText Flag. ### Return Value kLinearText Flag state ### Example
### See Also setLinearText Hinting --- ## setLinearText
void setLinearText(bool linearText)
If true, text is converted to Path before drawing and measuring. By default, kLinearText Flag is clear. Sets kLinearText Flag if linearText is true. Clears kLinearText Flag if linearText is false. ### Parameters
linearText setting for kLinearText Flag
### Example
### See Also isLinearText Hinting --- ## Subpixel Text Flags kSubpixelText Flag 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. ## isSubpixelText
bool isSubpixelText() const
If true, Glyphs at different sub-pixel positions may differ on pixel edge coverage. Equivalent to getFlags masked with kSubpixelText Flag. ### Return Value kSubpixelText Flag state ### Example
#### Example Output ~~~~ paint.isSubpixelText() == !!(paint.getFlags() & SkPaint::kSubpixelText_Flag) paint.isSubpixelText() == !!(paint.getFlags() & SkPaint::kSubpixelText_Flag) ~~~~
--- ## setSubpixelText
void setSubpixelText(bool subpixelText)
Requests, but does not require, that Glyphs respect sub-pixel positioning. Sets kSubpixelText Flag if subpixelText is true. Clears kSubpixelText Flag if subpixelText is false. ### Parameters
subpixelText setting for kSubpixelText Flag
### Example
#### Example Output ~~~~ paint1 == paint2 ~~~~
--- ## LCD Text When set, Flags kLCDRenderText Flag takes advantage of the organization of Color RGB stripes that create a color, and relies on the small size of the stripe and visual perception to make the color fringing imperceptible. LCD Text can be enabled on devices that orient stripes horizontally or vertically, and that order the color components as Color RGB or Color RBG. ## isLCDRenderText
bool isLCDRenderText() const
If true, Glyphs may use LCD striping to improve glyph edges. Returns true if Flags kLCDRenderText Flag is set. ### Return Value kLCDRenderText Flag state ### Example
#### Example Output ~~~~ paint.isLCDRenderText() == !!(paint.getFlags() & SkPaint::kLCDRenderText_Flag) paint.isLCDRenderText() == !!(paint.getFlags() & SkPaint::kLCDRenderText_Flag) ~~~~
--- ## setLCDRenderText
void setLCDRenderText(bool lcdText)
Requests, but does not require, that Glyphs use LCD striping for glyph edges. Sets kLCDRenderText Flag if lcdText is true. Clears kLCDRenderText Flag if lcdText is false. ### Parameters
lcdText setting for kLCDRenderText Flag
### Example
#### Example Output ~~~~ paint1 == paint2 ~~~~
--- # Font Embedded Bitmaps Font Embedded Bitmaps allows selecting custom sized bitmap Glyphs. Flags kEmbeddedBitmapText Flag when set chooses an embedded bitmap glyph over an outline contained in a font if the platform supports this option. FreeType selects the bitmap glyph if available when kEmbeddedBitmapText Flag is set, and selects the outline glyph if kEmbeddedBitmapText Flag is clear. Windows may select the bitmap glyph but is not required to do so. OS X and iOS do not support this option. Font Embedded Bitmaps is disabled by default. Font Embedded Bitmaps can be enabled by default by setting SkPaintDefaults Flags to kEmbeddedBitmapText Flag at compile time. ### Example
void draw(SkCanvas* canvas) {
The "hintgasp" TrueType font in the Skia resources/fonts directory includes an embedded bitmap Glyph at odd font sizes. This example works on platforms that use FreeType as their Font_Engine. Windows may, but is not required to, return a bitmap glyph if kEmbeddedBitmapText_Flag is set.
SkBitmap bitmap; bitmap.allocN32Pixels(30, 15); bitmap.eraseColor(0); SkCanvas offscreen(bitmap); SkPaint paint; paint.setAntiAlias(true); paint.setTextSize(13); paint.setTypeface(MakeResourceAsTypeface("fonts/hintgasp.ttf")); for (bool embedded : { false, true}) { paint.setEmbeddedBitmapText(embedded); offscreen.drawString("A", embedded ? 5 : 15, 15, paint); } canvas->drawBitmap(bitmap, 0, 0); canvas->scale(10, 10); canvas->drawBitmap(bitmap, -2, 1); }
## isEmbeddedBitmapText
bool isEmbeddedBitmapText() const
If true, Font Engine may return Glyphs from font bitmaps instead of from outlines. Equivalent to getFlags masked with kEmbeddedBitmapText Flag. ### Return Value kEmbeddedBitmapText Flag state ### Example
#### Example Output ~~~~ paint.isEmbeddedBitmapText() == !!(paint.getFlags() & SkPaint::kEmbeddedBitmapText_Flag) paint.isEmbeddedBitmapText() == !!(paint.getFlags() & SkPaint::kEmbeddedBitmapText_Flag) ~~~~
--- ## setEmbeddedBitmapText
void setEmbeddedBitmapText(bool useEmbeddedBitmapText)
Requests, but does not require, to use bitmaps in fonts instead of outlines. Sets kEmbeddedBitmapText Flag if useEmbeddedBitmapText is true. Clears kEmbeddedBitmapText Flag if useEmbeddedBitmapText is false. ### Parameters

By default, each successive glyph is positioned to the right of the preceding glyph. Vertical Text sets successive Glyphs to position below the preceding glyph. Skia can translate text character codes as a series of Glyphs, but does not implement font substitution, textual substitution, line layout, or contextual spacing like Kerning pairs. Use a text shaping engine likeHarfBuzzto translate text runs into glyph series. Vertical Text is clear if text is drawn left to right or set if drawn from top to bottom. Flags kVerticalText Flag if clear draws text left to right. Flags kVerticalText Flag if set draws text top to bottom. Vertical Text is clear by default. Vertical Text can be set by default by setting SkPaintDefaults Flags to kVerticalText Flag at compile time. ### Example
## isVerticalText
bool isVerticalText() const
If true, Glyphs are drawn top to bottom instead of left to right. Equivalent to getFlags masked with kVerticalText Flag. ### Return Value kVerticalText Flag state ### Example

--- # Fake Bold Fake Bold 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 Font Manager. Use Text Skew X 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 Glyphs. Otherwise, the extra bold is computed by increasing the stroke width and setting the Style to kStrokeAndFill Style as needed. Fake Bold is disabled by default. ### Example

--- # Filter Quality Methods Filter Quality trades speed for image filtering when the image is scaled. A lower Filter Quality draws faster, but has less fidelity. A higher Filter Quality draws slower, but looks better. If the image is drawn without scaling, the Filter Quality choice will not result in a noticeable difference. Filter Quality is used in Paint passed as a parameter to
SkCanvas::drawBitmap

Each component occupies 8-bits, ranging from zero: no contribution; to 255: full intensity. All values in any combination are valid. Color is not Premultiplied; Color Alpha sets the transparency independent of Color RGB: Color RGB Red, Color RGB Blue, and Color RGB Green. The bit positions of Color Alpha and Color RGB are independent of the bit positions on the output device, which may have more or fewer bits, and may have a different arrangement. | bit positions | Color Alpha | Color RGB Red | Color RGB Blue | Color RGB Green | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | | 31 - 24 | 23 - 16 | 15 - 8 | 7 - 0 | ### Example

### See Also setColor SkColorSetARGB --- # Style Style specifies if the geometry is filled, stroked, or both filled and stroked. Some shapes ignore Style and are always drawn filled or stroked. Set Style to kFill Style to fill the shape. The fill covers the area inside the geometry for most shapes. Set Style to kStroke Style to stroke the shape. ## Fill ### See Also Path Fill Type ## Stroke The stroke covers the area described by following the shape edge with a pen or brush of Stroke Width. The area covered where the shape starts and stops is described by Stroke Cap. The area covered where the shape turns a corner is described by Stroke Join. The stroke is centered on the shape; it extends equally on either side of the shape edge. As Stroke Width gets smaller, the drawn path frame is thinner. Stroke Width less than one may have gaps, and if kAntiAlias Flag is set, Color Alpha will increase to visually decrease coverage. ## Hairline Stroke Width of zero has a special meaning and switches drawing to use Hairline. Hairline draws the thinnest continuous frame. If kAntiAlias Flag is clear, adjacent pixels flow horizontally, vertically,or diagonally. Path drawing with Hairline may hit the same pixel more than once. For instance, Path containing two lines in one Path Contour will draw the corner point once, but may both lines may draw the adjacent pixel. If kAntiAlias Flag 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. ## Enum SkPaint::Style
enum Style {
kFill Style,
kStroke Style,
kStrokeAndFill Style,
};
Set Style 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 kStrokeAndFill Style to avoid hitting the same pixels twice with a stroke draw and a fill draw. ### Constants
SkPaint::kFill_Style 0Set to fill geometry. Applies to Rect, Region, Round Rect, Circles, Ovals, Path, and Text. Bitmap, Image, Patches, Region, Sprites, and Vertices are painted as if kFill Style is set, and ignore the set Style. The Path Fill Type specifies additional rules to fill the area outside the path edge, and to create an unfilled hole inside the shape. Style is set to kFill Style by default.
SkPaint::kStroke_Style 1Set to stroke geometry. Applies to Rect, Region, Round Rect, Arcs, Circles, Ovals, Path, and Text. Arcs, Lines, and Points, are always drawn as if kStroke Style is set, and ignore the set Style. The stroke construction is unaffected by the Path Fill Type.
SkPaint::kStrokeAndFill_Style 2Set to stroke and fill geometry. Applies to Rect, Region, Round Rect, Circles, Ovals, Path, and Text. Path is treated as if it is set to SkPath::kWinding FillType, and the set Path Fill Type is ignored.
## Enum SkPaint::_anonymous
enum {
kStyleCount = kStrokeAndFill Style + 1,
};
### Constants
SkPaint::kStyleCount 3The number of different Style values defined. May be used to verify that Style is a legal value.
## getStyle
Style getStyle() const
Whether the geometry is filled, stroked, or filled and stroked. ### Return Value one of:kFill Style, kStroke Style, kStrokeAndFill Style ### Example
#### Example Output ~~~~ SkPaint::kFill_Style == paint.getStyle() ~~~~
### See Also Style setStyle --- ## setStyle
void setStyle(Style style)
Sets whether the geometry is filled, stroked, or filled and stroked. Has no effect if style is not a legal Style value. ### Parameters
style one of: kFill Style, kStroke Style, kStrokeAndFill Style
### Example
### See Also Style getStyle --- ### See Also Path Fill Type Path Effect Style Fill Style Stroke # Stroke Width Stroke Width 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 kStroke Style or kStrokeAndFill Style. 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 Hairline stroke remains one pixel wide regardless of scaling. The default width for the paint is zero. ### Example
The pixels hit to represent thin lines vary with the angle of the line and the platform implementation.
## getStrokeWidth
SkScalar getStrokeWidth() const
Returns the thickness of the pen used by Paint to outline the shape. ### Return Value zero for Hairline, greater than zero for pen thickness ### Example
#### Example Output ~~~~ 0 == paint.getStrokeWidth() ~~~~
--- ## setStrokeWidth
void setStrokeWidth(SkScalar width)
Sets the thickness of the pen used by the paint to outline the shape. Has no effect if width is less than zero. ### Parameters
width zero thickness for Hairline; greater than zero for pen thickness
### Example
#### Example Output ~~~~ 5 == paint.getStrokeWidth() ~~~~
--- # Miter Limit Miter Limit specifies the maximum miter length, relative to the stroke width. Miter Limit is used when the Stroke Join is set to kMiter Join, and the Style is either kStroke Style or kStrokeAndFill Style. If the miter at a corner exceeds this limit, kMiter Join is replaced with kBevel Join. Miter Limit can be computed from the corner angle: miter limit = 1 / sin ( angle / 2 )Miter Limit default value is 4. The default may be changed at compile time by setting SkPaintDefaults MiterLimit 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 | | 7 | 16.43 | | 6 | 19.19 | | 5 | 23.07 | | 4 | 28.96 | | 3 | 38.94 | | 2 | 60 | | 1 | 180 | ### Example
This example draws a stroked corner and the miter length beneath. When the miter limit is decreased slightly, the miter join is replaced by a bevel join.
## getStrokeMiter
SkScalar getStrokeMiter() const
The limit at which a sharp corner is drawn beveled. ### Return Value zero and greater Miter Limit ### Example
#### Example Output ~~~~ default miter limit == 4 ~~~~
### See Also Miter Limit setStrokeMiter Join --- ## setStrokeMiter
void setStrokeMiter(SkScalar miter)
The limit at which a sharp corner is drawn beveled. Valid values are zero and greater. Has no effect if miter is less than zero. ### Parameters

### Example
#### Example Output ~~~~ default miter limit == 8 ~~~~
### See Also Miter Limit getStrokeMiter Join --- # Stroke Cap ## Enum SkPaint::Cap
enum Cap {
kButt Cap,
kRound Cap,
kSquare Cap,

kLast Cap = kSquare Cap,
kDefault Cap = kButt Cap,
};

static constexpr int kCapCount = kLast Cap + 1;
Stroke Cap draws at the beginning and end of an open Path Contour. ### Constants Stroke describes the area covered by a pen of Stroke Width as it follows the Path Contour, moving parallel to the contour direction. If the Path Contour is not terminated by SkPath::kClose Verb, the contour has a visible beginning and end. Path Contour may start and end at the same point; defining Zero Length Contour. kButt Cap and Zero Length Contour is not drawn. kRound Cap and Zero Length Contour draws a circle of diameter Stroke Width at the contour point. kSquare Cap and Zero Length Contour draws an upright square with a side of Stroke Width at the contour point. Stroke Cap is kButt Cap by default.
SkPaint::kButt_Cap 0Does not extend the stroke past the beginning or the end.
SkPaint::kRound_Cap 1Adds a circle with a diameter equal to Stroke Width at the beginning and end.
SkPaint::kSquare_Cap 2Adds a square with sides equal to Stroke Width at the beginning and end. The square sides are parallel to the initial and final direction of the stroke.
SkPaint::kLast_Cap 2Equivalent to the largest value for Stroke Cap.
SkPaint::kDefault_Cap 0Equivalent to kButt Cap. Stroke Cap is set to kButt Cap by default.
SkPaint::kCapCount 3The number of different Stroke Cap values defined. May be used to verify that Stroke Cap is a legal value.
### Example
## getStrokeCap
Cap getStrokeCap() const
The geometry drawn at the beginning and end of strokes. ### Return Value one of: kButt Cap, kRound Cap, kSquare Cap ### Example

### See Also Stroke Cap setStrokeCap --- ## setStrokeCap
void setStrokeCap(Cap cap)
The geometry drawn at the beginning and end of strokes. ### Parameters
cap one of: kButt Cap, kRound Cap, kSquare Cap; has no effect if cap is not valid
### Example
#### Example Output ~~~~ kRound_Cap == paint.getStrokeCap() ~~~~
### See Also Stroke Cap getStrokeCap --- # Stroke Join Stroke Join draws at the sharp corners of an open or closed Path Contour. Stroke describes the area covered by a pen of Stroke Width as it follows the Path Contour, moving parallel to the contour direction. If the contour direction changes abruptly, because the tangent direction leading to the end of a curve within the contour does not match the tangent direction of the following curve, the pair of curves meet at Stroke Join. ### Example
## Enum SkPaint::Join
enum Join {
kMiter Join,
kRound Join,
kBevel Join,

kLast Join = kBevel Join,
kDefault Join = kMiter Join,
};

static constexpr int kJoinCount = kLast Join + 1;
Join specifies how corners are drawn when a shape is stroked. Join 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. ### Constants
SkPaint::kMiter_Join 0Extends the outside corner to the extent allowed by Miter Limit. If the extension exceeds Miter Limit, kBevel Join is used instead.
SkPaint::kRound_Join 1Adds a circle with a diameter of Stroke Width at the sharp corner.
SkPaint::kBevel_Join 2Connects the outside edges of the sharp corner.
SkPaint::kLast_Join 2Equivalent to the largest value for Stroke Join.
SkPaint::kDefault_Join 1Equivalent to kMiter Join. Stroke Join is set to kMiter Join by default.
SkPaint::kJoinCount 3The number of different Stroke Join values defined. May be used to verify that Stroke Join is a legal value.

### See Also Stroke Join getStrokeJoin --- ### See Also Miter Limit # Fill Path Fill Path creates a Path by applying the Path Effect, followed by the Style Stroke. If Paint contains Path Effect, Path Effect operates on the source Path; the result replaces the destination Path. Otherwise, the source Path is replaces the destination Path. Fill Path can request the Path Effect to restrict to a culling rectangle, but the Path Effect is not required to do so. If Style is kStroke Style or kStrokeAndFill Style, and Stroke Width is greater than zero, the Stroke Width, Stroke Cap, Stroke Join, and Miter Limit operate on the destination Path, replacing it. Fill Path can specify the precision used by Stroke Width to approximate the stroke geometry. If the Style is kStroke Style and the Stroke Width is zero, getFillPath returns false since Hairline has no filled equivalent. ## getFillPath
bool getFillPath(const SkPath& src, SkPath* dst, const SkRect* cullRect, SkScalar resScale = 1) const
The filled equivalent of the stroked path. ### Parameters
src Path read to create a filled version
dst resulting Path; may be the same as src, but may not be nullptr
cullRect optional limit passed to Path Effect
resScale if > 1, increase precision, else if (0 < res < 1) reduce precision to favor speed and size
### Return Value true if the path represents Style Fill, or false if it represents Hairline ### Example
A very small Quad stroke is turned into a filled path with increasing levels of precision. At the lowest precision, the Quad stroke is approximated by a rectangle. At the highest precision, the filled path has high fidelity compared to the original stroke.
---
bool getFillPath(const SkPath& src, SkPath* dst) const
The filled equivalent of the stroked path. Replaces dst with the src path modified by Path Effect and Style Stroke. Path Effect, if any, is not culled. Stroke Width is created with default precision. ### Parameters
src Path read to create a filled version
dst resulting Path dst may be the same as src, but may not be nullptr
### Return Value true if the path represents Style Fill, or false if it represents Hairline ### Example

# Text Align ## Enum SkPaint::Align
enum Align {
kLeft Align,
kCenter Align,
kRight Align,
};
Align adjusts the text relative to the text position. Align affects Glyphs drawn with: SkCanvas::drawText, SkCanvas::drawPosText, SkCanvas::drawPosTextH, SkCanvas::drawTextOnPath, SkCanvas::drawTextOnPathHV, SkCanvas::drawTextRSXform, SkCanvas::drawTextBlob, and SkCanvas::drawString; as well as calls that place text Glyphs like getTextWidths and getTextPath. 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. Align adjusts the glyph position to center it or move it to abut the position using the metrics returned by the font. Align defaults to kLeft Align. ### Constants
SkPaint::kLeft_Align 0Leaves the glyph at the position computed by the font offset by the text position.
SkPaint::kCenter_Align 1Moves the glyph half its width if Flags has kVerticalText Flag clear, and half its height if Flags has kVerticalText Flag set.
SkPaint::kRight_Align 2Moves the glyph by its width if Flags has kVerticalText Flag clear, and by its height if Flags has kVerticalText Flag set.
## Enum SkPaint::_anonymous_2
enum {
kAlignCount = 3,
};
### Constants
SkPaint::kAlignCount 3The number of different Text Align values defined.
### Example
Each position separately moves the glyph in drawPosText.
### Example
Vertical Text treats kLeft Align as top align, and kRight Align as bottom align.

--- # Text Encoding ## Enum SkPaint::TextEncoding
enum TextEncoding {
kUTF8 TextEncoding,
kUTF16 TextEncoding,
kUTF32 TextEncoding,
kGlyphID TextEncoding,
};
TextEncoding determines whether text specifies character codes and their encoded size, or glyph indices. Characters are encoded as specified by theUnicode standard. Character codes encoded size are specified by UTF-8, UTF-16, or UTF-32. All character code formats are able to represent all of Unicode, differing only in the total storage required. UTF-8 (RFC 3629)encodes each character as one or more 8-bit bytes. UTF-16 (RFC 2781)encodes each character as one or two 16-bit words. UTF-32encodes each character as one 32-bit word. Font Manager uses font data to convert character code points into glyph indices. A glyph index is a 16-bit word. TextEncoding is set to kUTF8 TextEncoding by default. ### Constants
SkPaint::kUTF8_TextEncoding 0Uses bytes to represent UTF-8 or ASCII.
SkPaint::kUTF16_TextEncoding 1Uses two byte words to represent most of Unicode.
SkPaint::kUTF32_TextEncoding 2Uses four byte words to represent all of Unicode.
SkPaint::kGlyphID_TextEncoding 3Uses two byte words to represent glyph indices.
### Example
First line is encoded in UTF-8. Second line is encoded in UTF-16. Third line is encoded in UTF-32. Fourth line has 16 bit glyph indices.
## getTextEncoding
TextEncoding getTextEncoding() const
Returns Text Encoding. Text Encoding determines how character code points are mapped to font glyph indices. ### Return Value one of: kUTF8 TextEncoding, kUTF16 TextEncoding, kUTF32 TextEncoding, or kGlyphID TextEncoding ### Example
#### Example Output ~~~~ kUTF8_TextEncoding == text encoding kGlyphID_TextEncoding == text encoding ~~~~
--- ## setTextEncoding
void setTextEncoding(TextEncoding encoding)
Sets Text Encoding to encoding. Text Encoding determines how character code points are mapped to font glyph indices. Invalid values for encoding are ignored. ### Parameters #

### Example
#### Example Output ~~~~ 4 != text encoding ~~~~
--- # Font Metrics Font Metrics describe dimensions common to the Glyphs in Typeface. The dimensions are computed by Font Manager from font data and do not take Paint settings other than Text Size into account. Font 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. ### Example
# Struct SkPaint::FontMetrics
struct FontMetrics {
enum FontMetricsFlags {
kUnderlineThicknessIsValid Flag = 1 << 0,
kUnderlinePositionIsValid Flag = 1 << 1,
kStrikeoutThicknessIsValid Flag = 1 << 2,
kStrikeoutPositionIsValid Flag = 1 << 3,

};
FontMetrics is filled out by getFontMetrics. FontMetrics contents reflect the values computed by Font Manager using Typeface. Values are set to zero if they are not available. All vertical values relative to the baseline are given y-down. As such, zero is on the baseline, negative values are above the baseline, and positive values are below the baseline. fUnderlineThickness and fUnderlinePosition have a bit set in fFlags if their values are valid, since their value may be zero. fStrikeoutThickness and fStrikeoutPosition have a bit set in fFlags if their values are valid, since their value may be zero. ## Enum SkPaint::FontMetrics::FontMetricsFlags
enum FontMetricsFlags {
kUnderlineThicknessIsValid Flag = 1 << 0,
kUnderlinePositionIsValid Flag = 1 << 1,
kStrikeoutThicknessIsValid Flag = 1 << 2,
kStrikeoutPositionIsValid Flag = 1 << 3,
};
FontMetricsFlags are set in fFlags when underline and strikeout metrics are valid; the underline or strikeout metric may be valid and zero. Fonts with embedded bitmaps may not have valid underline or strikeout metrics. ### Constants

orig geometry modified by Paint when drawn
storage computed bounds of geometry
style overrides Style
### Return Value fast computed bounds --- ## toString
void toString(SkString* str) const;
Creates string representation of Paint. The representation is read by internal debugging tools. The interface and implementation may be suppressed by defining SK IGNORE TO STRING. ### Parameters
