DWORD GetAntialiasingMode(BlackIceDEVMODE* pBlackIceDevMode)
Description
Returns the Antialiasing Mode the driver uses for rendering text for image output file formats. Text antialiasing is for Grayscale and Color output formats. For 1 bit black and white documents, the ANTIALIASING_AUTO or ANTIALIASING_NONE options should be used, otherwise jagged edges will appear on the rendered characters.
Parameters
Input value - pointer to the BlackIceDEVMODE structure
Return value
One of the values of the AntialiasingMode enum:
ANTIALIASING_NONE = 0,
Turns off text antialiasing.
ANTIALIASING_NORMAL = 1,
Uses the default antialiasing method. This method is not recommended for 1 bit black and white output formats.
ANTIALIASING_CLEARTYPE = 2,
Uses Microsoft ClearType antialiasing for fonts. This method is using sub-pixel rendering and it is meant to be used for output images that will be displayed on computer screens at 100% size. This method is not recommended for 1 bit black and white output formats.
ANTIALIASING_LEGACY = 3
Emulates the behavior of Black Ice Printer Drivers before version 14.99. This method is not recommended for 1 bit black and white output formats.
ANTIALIASING_AUTO = 4
Automatically selects the best antialiasing method based on output format and resolution. Antialiasing is disabled for 1 bit black and white documents. For 8 or 24 bit documents that have resolution below 150 DPI, ClearType antialiasing is used. For 8 or 24 bit documents that has a resolution of 150 DPI or above, normal antialiasing is used. The printing application can change the antialiasing method on a per-font basis during printing, but antialiasing for 1 bit output formats is not allowed. (default value)
