TextRenderingMode Enumeration

Defines the supported rendering modes for text.

Namespace:  System.Windows.Media
Assembly:  PresentationCore (in PresentationCore.dll)
public enum TextRenderingMode
<object property="enumerationMemberName" .../>
Member name Description
Auto Text is rendered with the most appropriate rendering algorithm based on the layout mode that was used to format the text.
Aliased Text is rendered with bilevel anti-aliasing.
Grayscale Text is rendered with grayscale anti-aliasing.
ClearType Text is rendered with the most appropriate ClearType rendering algorithm based on the layout mode that was used to format the text.

The Grayscale anti-aliasing algorithm chooses the appropriate ClearType algorithm to get bitmap representations for the glyphs. The intensity of the red, green, and blue channels of a pixel of rendered text is the value of the green channel in the corresponding pixel of the bitmap representation of the glyph.
