     61    *    Real-Time Grid Fitting of Typographic Outlines

     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 at least two consecutive points that are
     76    *    approximately aligned along a coordinate axis.  The analysis to do
     77    *    so is specific to a writing system.
     78    *
     79    *
     80    *  Edges
     81    *
     82    *    `af_{cjk,latin,...}_hints_compute_edges' are the functions to find
     83    *    edges.
     84    *
     85    *    As soon as segments are defined, the auto-hinter groups them into
     86    *    edges.  An edge corresponds to a single position on the main
     87    *    dimension that collects one or more segments (allowing for a small
     88    *    threshold).
     89    *
     90    *    As an example, the `latin' writing system first tries to grid-fit
     91    *    edges, then to align segments on the edges unless it detects that
     92    *    they form a serif.

    109    *  Stems
    110    *
    111    *    Stems are detected by `af_{cjk,latin,...}_hint_edges'.
    112    *
    113    *    Segments need to be `linked' to other ones in order to detect stems.
    114    *    A stem is made of two segments that face each other in opposite
    115    *    directions and that are sufficiently close to each other.  Using
    116    *    vocabulary from the TrueType specification, stem segments form a
    117    *    `black distance'.
    118    *
    119    *    In the above ASCII drawing, the horizontal segments are BC, DE, and
    120    *    FG; the vertical segments are AB, CD, EF, and GH.
    121    *
    122    *    Each segment has at most one `best' candidate to form a black
    123    *    distance, or no candidate at all.  Notice that two distinct segments
    124    *    can have the same candidate, which frequently means a serif.
    125    *
    126    *    A stem is recognized by the following condition:
    127    *
    128    *      best segment_1 = segment_2 && best segment_2 = segment_1
    129    *
    130    *    The best candidate is stored in field `link' in structure
    131    *    `AF_Segment'.
    132    *
    133    *    In the above ASCII drawing, the best candidate for both AB and CD is
    134    *    GH, while the best candidate for GH is AB.  Similarly, the best
    135    *    candidate for EF and GH is AB, while the best candidate for AB is
    136    *    GH.
    137    *
    138    *    The detection and handling of stems is dependent on the writing
    139    *    system.
    140    *
    141    *
    142    *  Serifs
    143    *
    144    *    Serifs are detected by `af_{cjk,latin,...}_hint_edges'.
    145    *
    146    *    In comparison to a stem, a serif (as handled by the auto-hinter
    147    *    module that takes care of the `latin' writing system) has
    148    *
    149    *      best segment_1 = segment_2 && best segment_2 != segment_1
    150    *
    151    *    where segment_1 corresponds to the serif segment (CD and EF in the
    152    *    above ASCII drawing).
    153    *
    154    *    The best candidate is stored in field `serif' in structure
    155    *    `AF_Segment' (and `link' is set to NULL).
    156    *
    157    *
    158    *  Touched points
    159    *
    160    *    A point is called `touched' if it has been processed somehow by the
    161    *    auto-hinter.  It basically means that it shouldn't be moved again
    162    *    (or moved only under certain constraints to preserve the already
    163    *    applied processing).
    164    *
    165    *
    166    *  Flat and round segments
    167    *
    168    *    Segments are `round' or `flat', depending on the series of points
    169    *    that define them.  A segment is round if the next and previous point
    170    *    of an extremum (which can be either a single point or sequence of
    171    *    points) are both conic or cubic control points.  Otherwise, a
    172    *    segment with an extremum is flat.
    173    *
    174    *
    175    *  Strong Points
    176    *
    177    *    Experience has shown that points not part of an edge need to be
    178    *    interpolated linearly between their two closest edges, even if these
    179    *    are not part of the contour of those particular points.  Typical
    180    *    candidates for this are
    181    *
    182    *    - angle points (i.e., points where the `in' and `out' direction
    183    *      differ greatly)
    184    *
    185    *    - inflection points (i.e., where the `in' and `out' angles are the
    186    *      same, but the curvature changes sign) [currently, such points
    187    *      aren't handled specially in the auto-hinter]
    188    *
    189    *    `af_glyph_hints_align_strong_points' is the function that takes
    190    *    care of such situations; it is equivalent to the TrueType `IP'
    191    *    hinting instruction.
    192    *
    193    *
    194    *  Weak Points
    195    *
    196    *    Other points in the outline must be interpolated using the
    197    *    coordinates of their previous and next unfitted contour neighbours.
    198    *    These are called `weak points' and are touched by the function
    199    *    `af_glyph_hints_align_weak_points', equivalent to the TrueType `IUP'
    200    *    hinting instruction.  Typical candidates are control points and
    201    *    points on the contour without a major direction.
    202    *
    203    *    The major effect is to reduce possible distortion caused by
    204    *    alignment of edges and strong points, thus weak points are processed
    205    *    after strong points.
