Enum Constant Summary
Enum Constants Enum Constant Description DEFAULT
No additional hint.QUALITY
A hint to tell the bitmap caching mechanism that this node should appear on screen at the highest visual quality.ROTATE
A hint to tell the bitmap caching mechanism that if the node is rotated, it is acceptable to paint it by rotating the cached bitmap (rather than re-rendering the node).SCALE
A hint to tell the bitmap caching mechanism that if the node is scaled up or down, it is acceptable to paint it by scaling the cached bitmap (rather than re-rendering the node).SCALE_AND_ROTATE
A hint to tell the bitmap caching mechanism that if the node is scaled and/or rotated, it is acceptable to paint it by scaling and/or rotating the cached bitmap (rather than re-rendering the node).SPEED
A hint to tell the bitmap caching mechanism that this node is animating, and should be painted from the bitmap cache whenever possible in order to maintain smooth animation. -

Enum Constant Details
-
DEFAULT
No additional hint. The system will determine the best use of the bitmap cache. -
SPEED
A hint to tell the bitmap caching mechanism that this node is animating, and should be painted from the bitmap cache whenever possible in order to maintain smooth animation. The trade-off is that this may result in decreased visual quality. -
QUALITY
A hint to tell the bitmap caching mechanism that this node should appear on screen at the highest visual quality. The cached bitmap will only be used when it will not degrade the node's appearance on screen.The trade-off is that animations may cause subtle variations in the way that a node would be rendered, and so a node with a cacheHint of QUALITY may be required to re-render a node even when such subtle variations would not be visible in the midst of an animation. As such, a node with a cacheHint of QUALITY will often benefit from having its cacheHint replaced with a more permissive value (such as
SPEED
) during the period of the animation. -
SCALE
A hint to tell the bitmap caching mechanism that if the node is scaled up or down, it is acceptable to paint it by scaling the cached bitmap (rather than re-rendering the node). -
ROTATE
A hint to tell the bitmap caching mechanism that if the node is rotated, it is acceptable to paint it by rotating the cached bitmap (rather than re-rendering the node). -
SCALE_AND_ROTATE
A hint to tell the bitmap caching mechanism that if the node is scaled and/or rotated, it is acceptable to paint it by scaling and/or rotating the cached bitmap (rather than re-rendering the node).
