Enum FontSmoothingType

java.lang.Object

java.lang.Enum<FontSmoothingType>

javafx.scene.text.FontSmoothingType

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Comparable<FontSmoothingType>

public enum FontSmoothingType
extends Enum<FontSmoothingType>

The FontSmoothingType enum is used to specify the preferred mechanism used to smooth the edges of fonts for on-screen text.

Since:

JavaFX 2.1

Enum Constants

Enum Constant	Description
GRAY	Specifies the default gray scale smoothing, which is most suitable for graphics and animation uses.
LCD	Specifies sub-pixel LCD text, which utilises characteristics of digital LCD display panels to achieve increased pixel resolution.

Enum Constant Detail

GRAY

public static final FontSmoothingType GRAY

Specifies the default gray scale smoothing, which is most suitable for graphics and animation uses.

LCD

public static final FontSmoothingType LCD

Specifies sub-pixel LCD text, which utilises characteristics of digital LCD display panels to achieve increased pixel resolution. This mode is generally appropriate where the important factor is legibility of static text, particularly at small sizes.

A request for LCD text is a 'hint', since the implementation may need to ignore it under conditions such as compositing modes which do not support it. It follow that where LCD text is important that the application should avoid use of effects, transparency etc.

Method Detail

values

public static FontSmoothingType[] values()

Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:

for (FontSmoothingType c : FontSmoothingType.values())
    System.out.println(c);

Returns:

an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

valueOf

public static FontSmoothingType valueOf(String name)

Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)

Parameters:

name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.

Returns:

the enum constant with the specified name

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name

NullPointerException - if the argument is null
