Visual Studio 2010
Defines the supported rendering modes for text.
Assembly: PresentationCore (in PresentationCore.dll)
| 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.
