     70    *  Segments
     71    *
     72    *    `af_{cjk,latin,...}_hints_compute_segments' are the functions to
     73    *    find segments in an outline.
     74    *
     75    *    A segment is a series of consecutive points that are approximately
     76    *    aligned along a coordinate axis.  The analysis to do so is specific
     77    *    to a writing system.
     78    *
     79    *    A segment must have at least two points, except in the case of
     80    *    `fake' segments that are generated to hint metrics appropriately,
     81    *    and which consist of a single point.
     82    *
     83    *
     84    *  Edges
     85    *
     86    *    `af_{cjk,latin,...}_hints_compute_edges' are the functions to find
     87    *    edges.
     88    *
     89    *    As soon as segments are defined, the auto-hinter groups them into
     90    *    edges.  An edge corresponds to a single position on the main
     91    *    dimension that collects one or more segments (allowing for a small
     92    *    threshold).
     93    *
     94    *    As an example, the `latin' writing system first tries to grid-fit
     95    *    edges, then to align segments on the edges unless it detects that
     96    *    they form a serif.

    113    *  Stems
    114    *
    115    *    Stems are detected by `af_{cjk,latin,...}_hint_edges'.
    116    *
    117    *    Segments need to be `linked' to other ones in order to detect stems.
    118    *    A stem is made of two segments that face each other in opposite
    119    *    directions and that are sufficiently close to each other.  Using
    120    *    vocabulary from the TrueType specification, stem segments form a
    121    *    `black distance'.
    122    *
    123    *    In the above ASCII drawing, the horizontal segments are BC, DE, and
    124    *    FG; the vertical segments are AB, CD, EF, and GH.
    125    *
    126    *    Each segment has at most one `best' candidate to form a black
    127    *    distance, or no candidate at all.  Notice that two distinct segments
    128    *    can have the same candidate, which frequently means a serif.
    129    *
    130    *    A stem is recognized by the following condition:
    131    *
    132    *      best segment_1 = segment_2 && best segment_2 = segment_1
    133    *
    134    *    The best candidate is stored in field `link' in structure
    135    *    `AF_Segment'.
    136    *
    137    *    In the above ASCII drawing, the best candidate for both AB and CD is
    138    *    GH, while the best candidate for GH is AB.  Similarly, the best
    139    *    candidate for EF and GH is AB, while the best candidate for AB is
    140    *    GH.
    141    *
    142    *    The detection and handling of stems is dependent on the writing
    143    *    system.
    144    *
    145    *
    146    *  Serifs
    147    *
    148    *    Serifs are detected by `af_{cjk,latin,...}_hint_edges'.
    149    *
    150    *    In comparison to a stem, a serif (as handled by the auto-hinter
    151    *    module which takes care of the `latin' writing system) has
    152    *
    153    *      best segment_1 = segment_2 && best segment_2 != segment_1
    154    *
    155    *    where segment_1 corresponds to the serif segment (CD and EF in the
    156    *    above ASCII drawing).
    157    *
    158    *    The best candidate is stored in field `serif' in structure
    159    *    `AF_Segment' (and `link' is set to NULL).
    160    *
    161    *
    162    *  Touched points
    163    *
    164    *    A point is called `touched' if it has been processed somehow by the
    165    *    auto-hinter.  It basically means that it shouldn't be moved again
    166    *    (or moved only under certain constraints to preserve the already
    167    *    applied processing).
    168    *
    169    *
    170    *  Flat and round segments
    171    *
    172    *    Segments are `round' or `flat', depending on the series of points
    173    *    that define them.  A segment is round if the next and previous point
    174    *    of an extremum (which can be either a single point or sequence of
    175    *    points) are both conic or cubic control points.  Otherwise, a
    176    *    segment with an extremum is flat.
    177    *
    178    *
    179    *  Strong Points
    180    *
    181    *    Experience has shown that points which are not part of an edge need
    182    *    to be interpolated linearly between their two closest edges, even if
    183    *    these are not part of the contour of those particular points.
    184    *    Typical candidates for this are
    185    *
    186    *    - angle points (i.e., points where the `in' and `out' direction
    187    *      differ greatly)
    188    *
    189    *    - inflection points (i.e., where the `in' and `out' angles are the
    190    *      same, but the curvature changes sign) [currently, such points
    191    *      aren't handled in the auto-hinter]
    192    *
    193    *    `af_glyph_hints_align_strong_points' is the function which takes
    194    *    care of such situations; it is equivalent to the TrueType `IP'
    195    *    hinting instruction.
    196    *
    197    *
    198    *  Weak Points
    199    *
    200    *    Other points in the outline must be interpolated using the
    201    *    coordinates of their previous and next unfitted contour neighbours.
    202    *    These are called `weak points' and are touched by the function
    203    *    `af_glyph_hints_align_weak_points', equivalent to the TrueType `IUP'
    204    *    hinting instruction.  Typical candidates are control points and
    205    *    points on the contour without a major direction.
    206    *
    207    *    The major effect is to reduce possible distortion caused by
    208    *    alignment of edges and strong points, thus weak points are processed
    209    *    after strong points.
