TDrawMode = (
Possible modes when drawing a pixel over another one
dmSet,
The pixel is replaced
dmSetExceptTransparent,
The pixel is replaced if the pixel over has an alpha value of 255
dmLinearBlend,
The pixel is blend over the other one according to alpha values, however no gamma correction is applied. In other words, the color space is assumed to be linear
dmDrawWithTransparency,
The pixel is blend over the other one according to alpha values, and a gamma correction is applied. In other word, the color space is assumed to be sRGB
dmXor);
Values of all channels are combined with Xor. This is useful to compute the binary difference, however it is not something that makes much sense to display on the screen
dmFastBlend = dmLinearBlend;
An alias for the linear blend, because it is faster than blending with gamma correction
TBlendOperation = (
Advanced blending modes. See Paint.NET blend modes and Formulas. Blending layers has two steps. The first one is to apply the blend operations listed below, and the second is the actual merging of the colors
boLinearBlend,
Simple blend, except that it forces a linear merge so it is equivalent to dmLinearBlend
boTransparent,
Simple blend. It is equivalent to dmLinearBlend or dmDrawWithTransparency
boLighten, boScreen, boAdditive, boLinearAdd, boColorDodge, boDivide, boNiceGlow, boSoftLight, boHardLight,
Lighting blend modes (tends to increase the luminosity)
boGlow, boReflect, boOverlay, boDarkOverlay, boDarken, boMultiply, boColorBurn,
Masking blend modes (tends to decrease the luminosity)
boDifference, boLinearDifference, boExclusion, boLinearExclusion, boSubtract, boLinearSubtract, boSubtractInverse, boLinearSubtractInverse,
Difference blend modes
boNegation, boLinearNegation,
Negation blend modes
boXor);
Xor blend mode. It is sightly different from dmXor because the alpha value is used like in other blends modes
boGlowMask = boGlow;
Alias to glow that express that this blend mode masks the part where the top layer is black
boLinearMultiply = boMultiply;
Alias because linear or non linear multiply modes are identical
boNonLinearOverlay = boDarkOverlay;
Alias to express that dark overlay is simply an overlay with gamma correction
BlendOperationStr : array[TBlendOperation] of string
String constants for blend modes
function StrToBlendOperation(str: string): TBlendOperation;
Returns the blend mode expressed by the string
TChannel = (cRed, cGreen, cBlue, cAlpha);
Possible channels in a bitmap using any RGBA colorspace
TChannels = set of TChannel;
Combination of channels
TAlphaChannelPaletteOption = (
Specifies how a palette handles the alpha channel
acIgnore,
The alpha channel is ignored. The alpha channel is considered to be stored elsewhere
acTransparentEntry,
One entry is allocated the fully transparent color
acFullChannelInPalette);
The alpha channel is fully embedded in the palette so that a color is identified by its four RGBA channels
TDitheringAlgorithm = (
Dithering algorithms that specifies how to handle colors that are not found in the palette
daNearestNeighbor,
The nearest color is to be used instead
daFloydSteinberg);
The nearest color may be used however another color may be used to compensate for the error, following Floyd-Steinberg algorithm
