     68    *  Segments
     69    *
     70    *    `af_{cjk,latin,...}_hints_compute_segments' are the functions to
     71    *    find segments in an outline.  A segment is a series of consecutive
     72    *    points that are approximately aligned along a coordinate axis.  The
     73    *    analysis to do so is specific to a script.
     74    *
     75    *    A segment must have at least two points, except in the case of
     76    *    `fake' segments that are generated to hint metrics appropriately,
     77    *    and which consist of a single point.
     78    *
     79    *
     80    *  Edges
     81    *
     82    *    As soon as segments are defined, the auto-hinter groups them into
     83    *    edges.  An edge corresponds to a single position on the main
     84    *    dimension that collects one or more segments (allowing for a small
     85    *    threshold).
     86    *
     87    *    The auto-hinter first tries to grid fit edges, then to align
     88    *    segments on the edges unless it detects that they form a serif.
     89    *
     90    *    `af_{cjk,latin,...}_hints_compute_edges' are the functions to find
     91    *    edges; they are specific to a script.

    107    *
    108    *  Stems
    109    *
    110    *    Segments need to be `linked' to other ones in order to detect stems.
    111    *    A stem is made of two segments that face each other in opposite
    112    *    directions and that are sufficiently close to each other.  Using
    113    *    vocabulary from the TrueType specification, stem segments form a
    114    *    `black distance'.
    115    *
    116    *    In the above ASCII drawing, the horizontal segments are BC, DE, and
    117    *    FG; the vertical segments are AB, CD, EF, and GH.
    118    *
    119    *    Each segment has at most one `best' candidate to form a black
    120    *    distance, or no candidate at all.  Notice that two distinct segments
    121    *    can have the same candidate, which frequently means a serif.
    122    *
    123    *    A stem is recognized by the following condition:
    124    *
    125    *      best segment_1 = segment_2 && best segment_2 = segment_1
    126    *
    127    *    The best candidate is stored in field `link' in structure
    128    *    `AF_Segment'.
    129    *
    130    *    Stems are detected by `af_{cjk,latin,...}_hint_edges'.
    131    *
    132    *    In the above ASCII drawing, the best candidate for both AB and CD is
    133    *    GH, while the best candidate for GH is AB.  Similarly, the best
    134    *    candidate for EF and GH is AB, while the best candidate for AB is
    135    *    GH.
    136    *
    137    *
    138    *  Serifs
    139    *
    140    *    On the opposite, a serif has
    141    *
    142    *      best segment_1 = segment_2 && best segment_2 != segment_1
    143    *
    144    *    where segment_1 corresponds to the serif segment (CD and EF in the
    145    *    above ASCII drawing).
    146    *
    147    *    The best candidate is stored in field `serif' in structure
    148    *    `AF_Segment' (and `link' is set to NULL).
    149    *
    150    *    Serifs are detected by `af_{cjk,latin,...}_hint_edges'.
    151    *
    152    *
    153    *  Touched points
    154    *
    155    *    A point is called `touched' if it has been processed somehow by the
    156    *    auto-hinter.  It basically means that it shouldn't be moved again
    157    *    (or moved only under certain constraints to preserve the already
    158    *    applied processing).
    159    *
    160    *
    161    *  Flat and round segments
    162    *
    163    *    Segments are `round' or `flat', depending on the series of points
    164    *    that define them.  A segment is round if the next and previous point
    165    *    of an extremum (which can be either a single point or sequence of
    166    *    points) are both conic or cubic control points.  Otherwise, a
    167    *    segment with an extremum is flat.
    168    *
    169    *
    170    *  Strong Points
    171    *
    172    *    Experience has shown that points which are not part of an edge need
    173    *    to be interpolated linearly between their two closest edges, even if
    174    *    these are not part of the contour of those particular points.
    175    *    Typical candidates for this are
    176    *
    177    *    - angle points (i.e., points where the `in' and `out' direction
    178    *      differ greatly)
    179    *
    180    *    - inflection points (i.e., where the `in' and `out' angles are the
    181    *      same, but the curvature changes sign)
    182    *
    183    *    `af_glyph_hints_align_strong_points' is the function which takes
    184    *    care of such situations; it is equivalent to the TrueType `IP'
    185    *    hinting instruction.
    186    *
    187    *
    188    *  Weak Points
    189    *
    190    *    Other points in the outline must be interpolated using the
    191    *    coordinates of their previous and next unfitted contour neighbours.
    192    *    These are called `weak points' and are touched by the function
    193    *    `af_glyph_hints_align_weak_points', equivalent to the TrueType `IUP'
    194    *    hinting instruction.  Typical candidates are control points and
    195    *    points on the contour without a major direction.
    196    *
    197    *    The major effect is to reduce possible distortion caused by
    198    *    alignment of edges and strong points, thus weak points are processed
    199    *    after strong points.
