java.lang.Object

com.luciad.util.TLcdHaloAlgorithm

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable

public final class TLcdHaloAlgorithm
extends java.lang.Object
implements java.io.Serializable

Type safe enumeration representing the algorithms that are available for rendering halo's around a shape.

The choice of the halo algorithm may have a major impact on the performance of the halo rendering. The following general rules apply when choosing an appropriate halo algorithm:

• Convolution performs better than shifting for large halo thicknesses.
• Convolution performs better than shifting for shapes which are expensive to render.
• Shifting performs better for shapes with large dimensions.

Note that convolution supports translucent halo colors, whereas shifting does not.
