72 * `af_{cjk,latin,...}_hints_compute_segments' are the functions to
73 * find segments in an outline.
75 * A segment is a series of at least two consecutive points that are
76 * approximately aligned along a coordinate axis. The analysis to do
77 * so is specific to a writing system.
82 * `af_{cjk,latin,...}_hints_compute_edges' are the functions to find
85 * As soon as segments are defined, the auto-hinter groups them into
86 * edges. An edge corresponds to a single position on the main
87 * dimension that collects one or more segments (allowing for a small
90 * As an example, the `latin' writing system first tries to grid-fit
91 * edges, then to align segments on the edges unless it detects that

111 * Stems are detected by `af_{cjk,latin,...}_hint_edges'.
113 * Segments need to be `linked' to other ones in order to detect stems.
114 * A stem is made of two segments that face each other in opposite
115 * directions and that are sufficiently close to each other. Using
116 * vocabulary from the TrueType specification, stem segments form a
119 * In the above ASCII drawing, the horizontal segments are BC, DE, and
120 * FG; the vertical segments are AB, CD, EF, and GH.
122 * Each segment has at most one `best' candidate to form a black
123 * distance, or no candidate at all. Notice that two distinct segments
124 * can have the same candidate, which frequently means a serif.
126 * A stem is recognized by the following condition:
128 * best segment_1 = segment_2 && best segment_2 = segment_1
130 * The best candidate is stored in field `link' in structure
133 * In the above ASCII drawing, the best candidate for both AB and CD is
134 * GH, while the best candidate for GH is AB. Similarly, the best
135 * candidate for EF and GH is AB, while the best candidate for AB is
138 * The detection and handling of stems is dependent on the writing
144 * Serifs are detected by `af_{cjk,latin,...}_hint_edges'.
146 * In comparison to a stem, a serif (as handled by the auto-hinter
147 * module that takes care of the `latin' writing system) has
149 * best segment_1 = segment_2 && best segment_2 != segment_1
151 * where segment_1 corresponds to the serif segment (CD and EF in the
152 * above ASCII drawing).
154 * The best candidate is stored in field `serif' in structure
155 * `AF_Segment' (and `link' is set to NULL).
160 * A point is called `touched' if it has been processed somehow by the
161 * auto-hinter. It basically means that it shouldn't be moved again
162 * (or moved only under certain constraints to preserve the already
163 * applied processing).
166 * Flat and round segments
168 * Segments are `round' or `flat', depending on the series of points
169 * that define them. A segment is round if the next and previous point
170 * of an extremum (which can be either a single point or sequence of
171 * points) are both conic or cubic control points. Otherwise, a
172 * segment with an extremum is flat.
177 * Experience has shown that points not part of an edge need to be
178 * interpolated linearly between their two closest edges, even if these
179 * are not part of the contour of those particular points. Typical
180 * candidates for this are
182 * - angle points (i.e., points where the `in' and `out' direction
185 * - inflection points (i.e., where the `in' and `out' angles are the
186 * same, but the curvature changes sign) [currently, such points
187 * aren't handled specially in the auto-hinter]
189 * `af_glyph_hints_align_strong_points' is the function that takes
190 * care of such situations; it is equivalent to the TrueType `IP'
191 * hinting instruction.
196 * Other points in the outline must be interpolated using the
197 * coordinates of their previous and next unfitted contour neighbours.
198 * These are called `weak points' and are touched by the function
199 * `af_glyph_hints_align_weak_points', equivalent to the TrueType `IUP'
200 * hinting instruction. Typical candidates are control points and
201 * points on the contour without a major direction.
203 * The major effect is to reduce possible distortion caused by
204 * alignment of edges and strong points, thus weak points are processed
205 * after strong points.
