+ *
+ * @title:
+ * LCD Filtering
+ *
+ * @abstract:
+ * Reduce color fringes of subpixel-rendered bitmaps.
+ *
+ * @description:
+ * Should you #define FT_CONFIG_OPTION_SUBPIXEL_RENDERING in your
+ * `ftoption.h', which enables patented ClearType-style rendering,
+ * the LCD-optimized glyph bitmaps should be filtered to reduce color
+ * fringes inherent to this technology. The default FreeType LCD
+ * rendering uses different technology, and API described below,
+ * although available, does nothing.
+ *
+ * ClearType-style LCD rendering exploits the color-striped structure of
+ * LCD pixels, increasing the available resolution in the direction of
+ * the stripe (usually horizontal RGB) by a factor of~3. Since these
+ * subpixels are color pixels, using them unfiltered creates severe
+ * color fringes. Use the @FT_Library_SetLcdFilter API to specify a
+ * low-pass filter, which is then applied to subpixel-rendered bitmaps
+ * generated through @FT_Render_Glyph. The filter sacrifices some of
+ * the higher resolution to reduce color fringes, making the glyph image
+ * slightly blurrier. Positional improvements will remain.
+ *
+ * A filter should have two properties:
+ *
+ * 1) It should be normalized, meaning the sum of the 5~components
+ * should be 256 (0x100). It is possible to go above or under this
+ * target sum, however: going under means tossing out contrast, going
+ * over means invoking clamping and thereby non-linearities that
+ * increase contrast somewhat at the expense of greater distortion
+ * and color-fringing. Contrast is better enhanced through stem
+ * darkening.
+ *
+ * 2) It should be color-balanced, meaning a filter `{~a, b, c, b, a~}'
+ * where a~+ b~=~c. It distributes the computed coverage for one
+ * subpixel to all subpixels equally, sacrificing some won resolution
+ * but drastically reducing color-fringing. Positioning improvements
+ * remain! Note that color-fringing can only really be minimized
+ * when using a color-balanced filter and alpha-blending the glyph
+ * onto a surface in linear space; see @FT_Render_Glyph.
+ *
+ * Regarding the form, a filter can be a `boxy' filter or a `beveled'
+ * filter. Boxy filters are sharper but are less forgiving of non-ideal
+ * gamma curves of a screen (viewing angles!), beveled filters are
+ * fuzzier but more tolerant.
+ *
+ * Examples:
+ *
+ * - [0x10 0x40 0x70 0x40 0x10] is beveled and neither balanced nor
+ * normalized.
+ *
+ * - [0x1A 0x33 0x4D 0x33 0x1A] is beveled and balanced but not
+ * normalized.
+ *
+ * - [0x19 0x33 0x66 0x4c 0x19] is beveled and normalized but not
+ * balanced.
+ *
+ * - [0x00 0x4c 0x66 0x4c 0x00] is boxily beveled and normalized but not
+ * balanced.
+ *
+ * - [0x00 0x55 0x56 0x55 0x00] is boxy, normalized, and almost
+ * balanced.
+ *
+ * - [0x08 0x4D 0x56 0x4D 0x08] is beveled, normalized and, almost
+ * balanced.
+ *
+ * The filter affects glyph bitmaps rendered through @FT_Render_Glyph,
+ * @FT_Load_Glyph, and @FT_Load_Char. It does _not_ affect the output
+ * of @FT_Outline_Render and @FT_Outline_Get_Bitmap.
+ *
+ * If this feature is activated, the dimensions of LCD glyph bitmaps are
+ * either wider or taller than the dimensions of the corresponding
+ * outline with regard to the pixel grid. For example, for
+ * @FT_RENDER_MODE_LCD, the filter adds 3~subpixels to the left, and
+ * 3~subpixels to the right. The bitmap offset values are adjusted
+ * accordingly, so clients shouldn't need to modify their layout and
+ * glyph positioning code when enabling the filter.
+ *
+ * It is important to understand that linear alpha blending and gamma
+ * correction is critical for correctly rendering glyphs onto surfaces
+ * without artifacts and even more critical when subpixel rendering is
+ * involved.
+ *
+ * Each of the 3~alpha values (subpixels) is independently used to blend
+ * one color channel. That is, red alpha blends the red channel of the
+ * text color with the red channel of the background pixel. The
+ * distribution of density values by the color-balanced filter assumes
+ * alpha blending is done in linear space; only then color artifacts
+ * cancel out.

+ * @enum:
+ * FT_LcdFilter
+ *
+ * @description:
+ * A list of values to identify various types of LCD filters.
+ *
+ * @values:
+ * FT_LCD_FILTER_NONE ::
+ * Do not perform filtering. When used with subpixel rendering, this
+ * results in sometimes severe color fringes.
+ *
+ * FT_LCD_FILTER_DEFAULT ::
+ * The default filter reduces color fringes considerably, at the cost
+ * of a slight blurriness in the output.
+ *
+ * It is a beveled, normalized, and color-balanced five-tap filter
+ * that is more forgiving to screens with non-ideal gamma curves and
+ * viewing angles. Note that while color-fringing is reduced, it can
+ * only be minimized by using linear alpha blending and gamma
+ * correction to render glyphs onto surfaces. The default filter
+ * weights are [0x08 0x4D 0x56 0x4D 0x08].
+ *
+ * FT_LCD_FILTER_LIGHT ::
+ * The light filter is a variant that is sharper at the cost of
+ * slightly more color fringes than the default one.
+ *
+ * It is a boxy, normalized, and color-balanced three-tap filter that
+ * is less forgiving to screens with non-ideal gamma curves and
+ * viewing angles. This filter works best when the rendering system
+ * uses linear alpha blending and gamma correction to render glyphs
+ * onto surfaces. The light filter weights are
+ * [0x00 0x55 0x56 0x55 0x00].
+ *
+ * FT_LCD_FILTER_LEGACY ::
+ * This filter corresponds to the original libXft color filter. It
+ * provides high contrast output but can exhibit really bad color
+ * fringes if glyphs are not extremely well hinted to the pixel grid.
+ * In other words, it only works well if the TrueType bytecode
+ * interpreter is enabled *and* high-quality hinted fonts are used.
+ *
+ * This filter is only provided for comparison purposes, and might be
+ * disabled or stay unsupported in the future.
+ *
+ * FT_LCD_FILTER_LEGACY1 ::
+ * For historical reasons, the FontConfig library returns a different
+ * enumeration value for legacy LCD filtering. To make code work that
+ * (incorrectly) forwards FontConfig's enumeration value to
+ * @FT_Library_SetLcdFilter without proper mapping, it is thus easiest
+ * to have another enumeration value, which is completely equal to
+ * `FT_LCD_FILTER_LEGACY'.
+ *
+ * @since:
+ * 2.3.0 (`FT_LCD_FILTER_LEGACY1' since 2.6.2)
