TextRenderingMode

Fields

Name	Value	Description
Auto	0	Text is rendered with the most appropriate rendering algorithm based on the layout mode that was used to format the text.
Aliased	1	Text is rendered with bilevel anti-aliasing.
Grayscale	2	Text is rendered with grayscale anti-aliasing.
ClearType	3	Text is rendered with the most appropriate ClearType rendering algorithm based on the layout mode that was used to format the text.

Remarks

The Grayscale anti-aliasing algorithm chooses the appropriate ClearType algorithm to get bitmap representations for the glyphs. The intensity of the red, green, and blue channels of a pixel of rendered text is the value of the green channel in the corresponding pixel of the bitmap representation of the glyph.
