  • Enum Constant Details

    • SRC_OVER

      public static final BlendMode SRC_OVER
      The top input is blended over the bottom input. (Equivalent to the Porter-Duff "source over destination" rule.)

    • SRC_ATOP

      public static final BlendMode SRC_ATOP
      The part of the top input lying inside of the bottom input is blended with the bottom input. (Equivalent to the Porter-Duff "source atop destination" rule.)

    • ADD

      public static final BlendMode ADD
      The color and alpha components from the top input are added to those from the bottom input. The result is clamped to 1.0 if it exceeds the logical maximum of 1.0.

      Notes:

      • This mode is commutative (ordering of inputs does not matter).
      • This mode is sometimes referred to as "linear dodge" in imaging software packages.

    • MULTIPLY

      public static final BlendMode MULTIPLY
      The color components from the first input are multiplied with those from the second input. The alpha components are blended according to the SRC_OVER equation.

      Notes:

      • This mode is commutative (ordering of inputs does not matter).
      • This mode is the mathematical opposite of the SCREEN mode.
      • The resulting color is always at least as dark as either of the input colors.
      • Rendering with a completely black top input produces black; rendering with a completely white top input produces a result equivalent to the bottom input.

    • SCREEN

      public static final BlendMode SCREEN
      The color components from both of the inputs are inverted, multiplied with each other, and that result is again inverted to produce the resulting color. The alpha components are blended according to the SRC_OVER equation.

      Notes:

      • This mode is commutative (ordering of inputs does not matter).
      • This mode is the mathematical opposite of the MULTIPLY mode.
      • The resulting color is always at least as light as either of the input colors.
      • Rendering with a completely white top input produces white; rendering with a completely black top input produces a result equivalent to the bottom input.

    • OVERLAY

      public static final BlendMode OVERLAY
      The input color components are either multiplied or screened, depending on the bottom input color. The alpha components are blended according to the SRC_OVER equation.

      Notes:

      • This mode is a combination of SCREEN and MULTIPLY, depending on the bottom input color.
      • This mode is the mathematical opposite of the HARD_LIGHT mode.
      • In this mode, the top input colors "overlay" the bottom input while preserving highlights and shadows of the latter.

    • DARKEN

      public static final BlendMode DARKEN
      The darker of the color components from the two inputs are selected to produce the resulting color. The alpha components are blended according to the SRC_OVER equation.

      Notes:

      • This mode is commutative (ordering of inputs does not matter).
      • This mode is the mathematical opposite of the LIGHTEN mode.

    • LIGHTEN

      public static final BlendMode LIGHTEN
      The lighter of the color components from the two inputs are selected to produce the resulting color. The alpha components are blended according to the SRC_OVER equation.

      Notes:

      • This mode is commutative (ordering of inputs does not matter).
      • This mode is the mathematical opposite of the DARKEN mode.

    • COLOR_DODGE

      public static final BlendMode COLOR_DODGE
      The bottom input color components are divided by the inverse of the top input color components to produce the resulting color. The alpha components are blended according to the SRC_OVER equation.

    • COLOR_BURN

      public static final BlendMode COLOR_BURN
      The inverse of the bottom input color components are divided by the top input color components, all of which is then inverted to produce the resulting color. The alpha components are blended according to the SRC_OVER equation.

    • HARD_LIGHT

      public static final BlendMode HARD_LIGHT
      The input color components are either multiplied or screened, depending on the top input color. The alpha components are blended according to the SRC_OVER equation.

      Notes:

      • This mode is a combination of SCREEN and MULTIPLY, depending on the top input color.
      • This mode is the mathematical opposite of the OVERLAY mode.

    • SOFT_LIGHT

      public static final BlendMode SOFT_LIGHT
      The input color components are either darkened or lightened, depending on the top input color. The alpha components are blended according to the SRC_OVER equation.

      Notes:

      • This mode is similar to OVERLAY, but generally produces "lighter" results than OVERLAY.

    • DIFFERENCE

      public static final BlendMode DIFFERENCE
      The darker of the color components from the two inputs are subtracted from the lighter ones to produce the resulting color. The alpha components are blended according to the SRC_OVER equation.

      Notes:

      • This mode is commutative (ordering of inputs does not matter).
      • This mode can be used to invert parts of the bottom input image, or to quickly compare two images (equal pixels will result in black).
      • Rendering with a completely white top input inverts the bottom input; rendering with a completely black top input produces a result equivalent to the bottom input.

    • EXCLUSION

      public static final BlendMode EXCLUSION
      The color components from the two inputs are multiplied and doubled, and then subtracted from the sum of the bottom input color components, to produce the resulting color. The alpha components are blended according to the SRC_OVER equation.

      Notes:

      • This mode is commutative (ordering of inputs does not matter).
      • This mode can be used to invert parts of the bottom input.
      • This mode produces results that are similar to those of DIFFERENCE, except with lower contrast.
      • Rendering with a completely white top input inverts the bottom input; rendering with a completely black top input produces a result equivalent to the bottom input.

    • RED

      public static final BlendMode RED
      The red component of the bottom input is replaced with the red component of the top input; the other color components are unaffected. The alpha components are blended according to the SRC_OVER equation.

    • GREEN

      public static final BlendMode GREEN
      The green component of the bottom input is replaced with the green component of the top input; the other color components are unaffected. The alpha components are blended according to the SRC_OVER equation.

    • BLUE

      public static final BlendMode BLUE
      The blue component of the bottom input is replaced with the blue component of the top input; the other color components are unaffected. The alpha components are blended according to the SRC_OVER equation.
