#Class SkPaint

Paint controls options applied when drawing and measuring. Paint collects all
options outside of the Canvas_Clip and Canvas_Matrix.

Various options apply to text, strokes and fills, and images. 

Some options may not be implemented on all platforms; in these cases, setting
the option has no effect. Some options are conveniences that duplicate Canvas
functionality; for instance, text size is identical to matrix scale.

Paint options are rarely exclusive; each option modifies a stage of the drawing
pipeline and multiple pipeline stages may be affected by a single Paint.

Paint collects effects and filters that describe single-pass and multiple-pass 
algorithms that alter the drawing geometry, color, and transparency. For instance,
Paint does not directly implement dashing or blur, but contains the objects that do so. 

The objects contained by Paint are opaque, and cannot be edited outside of the Paint
to affect it. The implementation is free to defer computations associated with the
Paint, or ignore them altogether. For instance, some GPU implementations draw all
Path geometries with Anti-aliasing, regardless of how SkPaint::kAntiAlias_Flag 
is set in Paint.

Paint describes a single color, a single font, a single image quality, and so on.
Multiple colors are drawn either by using multiple paints or with objects like
Shader attached to Paint.

#Method SkPaint(const SkPaint& paint)

Makes a shallow copy of Paint. Typeface, Path_Effect, Shader,
Mask_Filter, Color_Filter, Rasterizer, Draw_Looper, and Image_Filter are shared
between the original paint and the copy. Objects containing Reference_Count increment
their references by one.

The referenced objects Path_Effect, Shader, Mask_Filter, Color_Filter, Rasterizer,
Draw_Looper, and Image_Filter cannot be modified after they are created.
This prevents objects with Reference_Count from being modified once Paint refers to them.

#Param paint  original to copy ##

Hinting adjusts the glyph outlines so that the shape provides a uniform
look at a given point size on font engines that support it. Hinting may have a
muted effect or no effect at all depending on the platform.

The four levels roughly control corresponding features on platforms that use FreeType
as the Font_Engine.

#Const kNo_Hinting   0
    Leaves glyph outlines unchanged from their native representation.
    With FreeType, this is equivalent to the FT_LOAD_NO_HINTING
    bit-field constant supplied to FT_Load_Glyph, which indicates that the vector
    outline being loaded should not be fitted to the pixel grid but simply scaled
    to 26.6 fractional pixels.
##
#Const kSlight_Hinting 1
    Modifies glyph outlines minimally to improve constrast.
    With FreeType, this is equivalent in spirit to the
    FT_LOAD_TARGET_LIGHT value supplied to FT_Load_Glyph. It chooses a 
    lighter hinting algorithm for non-monochrome modes.
    Generated Glyphs may be fuzzy but better resemble their original shape.
##
#Const kNormal_Hinting 2
    Modifies glyph outlines to improve constrast. This is the default.
    With FreeType, this supplies FT_LOAD_TARGET_NORMAL to FT_Load_Glyph,
    choosing the default hinting algorithm, which is optimized for standard 
    gray-level rendering. 
##
#Const kFull_Hinting 3
    Modifies glyph outlines for maxiumum constrast. With FreeType, this selects
    FT_LOAD_TARGET_LCD or FT_LOAD_TARGET_LCD_V if kLCDRenderText_Flag is set. 
    FT_LOAD_TARGET_LCD is a variant of FT_LOAD_TARGET_NORMAL optimized for 
    horizontally decimated LCD displays; FT_LOAD_TARGET_LCD_V is a 
    variant of FT_LOAD_TARGET_NORMAL optimized for vertically decimated LCD displays.

On OS_X and iOS, hinting controls whether Core_Graphics dilates the font outlines
to account for LCD text. No hinting uses Core_Text gray scale output.
Normal hinting uses Core_Text LCD output. If kLCDRenderText_Flag is clear,
the LCD output is reduced to a single grayscale channel.

On Windows with DirectWrite, Hinting has no effect.

Hinting defaults to kNormal_Hinting.

Anti-alias drawing approximates partial pixel coverage with transparency.
If kAntiAlias_Flag is clear, pixel centers contained by the shape edge are drawn opaque.
If kAntiAlias_Flag is set, pixels are drawn with Color_Alpha equal to their coverage.

The rule for Aliased pixels is inconsistent across platforms. A shape edge 
passing through the pixel center may, but is not required to, draw the pixel.

Raster_Engine draws Aliased pixels whose centers are on or to the right of the start of an
active Path edge, and whose center is to the left of the end of the active Path edge.

#ToDo  add illustration of raster pixels ##

A platform may only support Anti-aliased drawing. Some GPU-backed platforms use
Supersampling to Anti-alias all drawing, and have no mechanism to selectively
Alias.

The amount of coverage computed for Anti-aliased pixels also varies across platforms.

Anti-alias is disabled by default.
Anti-alias can be enabled by default by setting SkPaintDefaults_Flags to kAntiAlias_Flag
at compile time.

    #Example
    #Width 512
    #Description
        A red line is drawn with transparency on the edges to make it look smoother.
        A blue line draws only where the pixel centers are contained.
        The lines are drawn into Bitmap, then drawn magnified to make the
        Aliasing easier to see.

#Topic Dither

Dither increases fidelity by adjusting the color of adjacent pixels. 
This can help to smooth color transitions and reducing banding in gradients.
Dithering lessens visible banding from kRGB_565_SkColorType
and kRGBA_8888_SkColorType gradients, 
and improves rendering into a kRGB_565_SkColorType Surface.

Dithering is always enabled for linear gradients drawing into
kRGB_565_SkColorType Surface and kRGBA_8888_SkColorType Surface.
Dither cannot be enabled for kAlpha_8_SkColorType Surface and
kRGBA_F16_SkColorType Surface.

Dither is disabled by default.
Dither can be enabled by default by setting SkPaintDefaults_Flags to kDither_Flag
at compile time.

Some platform implementations may ignore dithering. Set

#Define SK_IGNORE_GPU_DITHER

to ignore Dither on GPU_Surface.

#Example
#Description 
Dithering in the bottom half more closely approximates the requested color by

LCD_Text and Subpixel_Text increase the precision of glyph position.

When set, Flags kLCDRenderText_Flag takes advantage of the organization of Color_RGB stripes that 
create a color, and relies
on the small size of the stripe and visual perception to make the color fringing imperceptible.
LCD_Text can be enabled on devices that orient stripes horizontally or vertically, and that order
the color components as Color_RGB or Color_RBG.

Flags kSubpixelText_Flag uses the pixel transparency to represent a fractional offset. 
As the opaqueness
of the color increases, the edge of the glyph appears to move towards the outside of the pixel.

Either or both techniques can be enabled.
kLCDRenderText_Flag and kSubpixelText_Flag are clear by default.
LCD_Text or Subpixel_Text can be enabled by default by setting SkPaintDefaults_Flags to 
kLCDRenderText_Flag or kSubpixelText_Flag (or both) at compile time.

#Example
    #Description
        Four commas are drawn normally and with combinations of LCD_Text and Subpixel_Text.
        When Subpixel_Text is disabled, the comma Glyphs are identical, but not evenly spaced.
        When Subpixel_Text is enabled, the comma Glyphs are unique, but appear evenly spaced.

Font_Embedded_Bitmaps allows selecting custom sized bitmap Glyphs.
Flags kEmbeddedBitmapText_Flag when set chooses an embedded bitmap glyph over an outline contained
in a font if the platform supports this option. 

FreeType selects the bitmap glyph if available when kEmbeddedBitmapText_Flag is set, and selects
the outline glyph if kEmbeddedBitmapText_Flag is clear.
Windows may select the bitmap glyph but is not required to do so.
OS_X and iOS do not support this option.

Font_Embedded_Bitmaps is disabled by default.
Font_Embedded_Bitmaps can be enabled by default by setting SkPaintDefaults_Flags to
kEmbeddedBitmapText_Flag at compile time.

#Example

    #Description
        The "hintgasp" TrueType font in the Skia resources/fonts directory
        includes an embedded bitmap Glyph at odd font sizes. This example works

#Topic Vertical_Text

Text may be drawn by positioning each glyph, or by positioning the first glyph and
using Font_Advance to position subsequent Glyphs. By default, each successive glyph
is positioned to the right of the preceding glyph. Vertical_Text sets successive
Glyphs to position below the preceding glyph.

Skia can translate text character codes as a series of Glyphs, but does not implement
font substitution, 
textual substitution, line layout, or contextual spacing like Kerning pairs. Use
a text shaping engine like
#A HarfBuzz # http://harfbuzz.org/ ##
 to translate text runs
into glyph series.

Vertical_Text is clear if text is drawn left to right or set if drawn from top to bottom.

Flags kVerticalText_Flag if clear draws text left to right.
Flags kVerticalText_Flag if set draws text top to bottom.

Vertical_Text is clear by default.
Vertical_Text can be set by default by setting SkPaintDefaults_Flags to
kVerticalText_Flag at compile time.

A FreeType based port may define SK_USE_FREETYPE_EMBOLDEN at compile time to direct
the font engine to create the bold Glyphs. Otherwise, the extra bold is computed
by increasing the stroke width and setting the Style to kStrokeAndFill_Style as needed.  

Fake_Bold is disabled by default.

#Example
#Height 128
void draw(SkCanvas* canvas) {
    SkPaint paint;
    paint.setAntiAlias(true);
    paint.setTextSize(40);
    canvas->drawString("OjYy_-", 10, 35, paint);
    paint.setFakeBoldText(true);
    canvas->drawString("OjYy_-", 10, 75, paint);
    // create a custom fake bold by varying the stroke width
    paint.setFakeBoldText(false);
    paint.setStyle(SkPaint::kStrokeAndFill_Style);
    paint.setStrokeWidth(40.f / 48);
    canvas->drawString("OjYy_-", 10, 115, paint);

if Hinting is set to kFull_Hinting, Full_Hinting_Spacing adjusts the character
spacing by the difference of the hinted and Unhinted Left_Side_Bearing and
Right_Side_Bearing. Full_Hinting_Spacing only applies to platforms that use
FreeType as their Font_Engine.

Full_Hinting_Spacing is not related to text Kerning, where the space between

#Topic Filter_Quality_Methods

Filter_Quality trades speed for image filtering when the image is scaled.
A lower Filter_Quality draws faster, but has less fidelity.
A higher Filter_Quality draws slower, but looks better.
If the image is drawn without scaling, the Filter_Quality choice will not result
in a noticeable difference.

Filter_Quality is used in Paint passed as a parameter to
#List
# SkCanvas::drawBitmap ##
# SkCanvas::drawBitmapRect ##
# SkCanvas::drawImage ##
# SkCanvas::drawImageRect ##

#List ##
and when Paint has a Shader specialization that uses Image or Bitmap.

Filter_Quality is kNone_SkFilterQuality by default.

Color specifies the Color_RGB_Red, Color_RGB_Blue, Color_RGB_Green, and Color_Alpha values used to draw a filled
or stroked shape in a
32-bit value. Each component occupies 8-bits, ranging from zero: no contribution;
to 255: full intensity. All values in any combination are valid.

Color is not Premultiplied;
Color_Alpha sets the transparency independent of Color_RGB: Color_RGB_Red, Color_RGB_Blue, and Color_RGB_Green.

The bit positions of Color_Alpha and Color_RGB are independent of the bit positions
on the output device, which may have more or fewer bits, and may have a different arrangement.

#Topic Style

Style specifies if the geometry is filled, stroked, or both filled and stroked.
Some shapes ignore Style and are always drawn filled or stroked.

Set Style to kFill_Style to fill the shape.
The fill covers the area inside the geometry for most shapes.

Set Style to kStroke_Style to stroke the shape.

# ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#Subtopic Fill

#ToDo write up whatever generalities make sense to describe filling  ##

#SeeAlso Path_Fill_Type
#Subtopic ##

#Subtopic Stroke
The stroke covers the area described by following the shape edge with a pen or brush of
Stroke_Width. The area covered where the shape starts and stops is described by Stroke_Cap.
The area covered where the shape turns a corner is described by Stroke_Join.
The stroke is centered on the shape; it extends equally on either side of the shape edge.

As Stroke_Width gets smaller, the drawn path frame is thinner. Stroke_Width less than one
may have gaps, and if kAntiAlias_Flag is set, Color_Alpha will increase to visually decrease coverage.
#Subtopic ##

#Subtopic Hairline
#Alias Hairline # maybe should be Stroke_Hairline ?

Stroke_Width of zero has a special meaning and switches drawing to use Hairline.
Hairline draws the thinnest continuous frame. If kAntiAlias_Flag is clear, adjacent pixels 
flow horizontally, vertically,or diagonally. 

#ToDo  what is the description of Anti-aliased hairlines? ##

Path drawing with Hairline may hit the same pixel more than once. For instance, Path containing
two lines in one Path_Contour will draw the corner point once, but may both lines may draw the adjacent
pixel. If kAntiAlias_Flag is set, transparency is applied twice, resulting in a darker pixel. Some
GPU-backed implementations apply transparency at a later drawing stage, avoiding double hit pixels
while stroking.

#Subtopic ##

#Enum Style

#Code
    enum Style {
        kFill_Style,
        kStroke_Style,

##

Set Style to fill, stroke, or both fill and stroke geometry.
The stroke and fill
share all paint attributes; for instance, they are drawn with the same color.

Use kStrokeAndFill_Style to avoid hitting the same pixels twice with a stroke draw and
a fill draw.

#Const  kFill_Style 0
    Set to fill geometry.
    Applies to Rect, Region, Round_Rect, Circles, Ovals, Path, and Text. 
    Bitmap, Image, Patches, Region, Sprites, and Vertices are painted as if
    kFill_Style is set, and ignore the set Style.
    The Path_Fill_Type specifies additional rules to fill the area outside the path edge,
    and to create an unfilled hole inside the shape.
    Style is set to kFill_Style by default.
##

#Const kStroke_Style 1
    Set to stroke geometry.
    Applies to Rect, Region, Round_Rect, Arcs, Circles, Ovals, Path, and Text. 
    Arcs, Lines, and Points, are always drawn as if kStroke_Style is set,

#Topic Stroke_Width

Stroke_Width sets the width for stroking. The width is the thickness
of the stroke perpendicular to the path direction when the paint style is 
set to kStroke_Style or kStrokeAndFill_Style.

When width is greater than zero, the stroke encompasses as many pixels partially
or fully as needed. When the width equals zero, the paint enables hairlines;
the stroke is always one pixel wide. 

The stroke dimensions are scaled by the canvas matrix, but Hairline stroke
remains one pixel wide regardless of scaling.

The default width for the paint is zero.

#Example
#Height 170
    #Platform raster gpu
    #Description
        The pixels hit to represent thin lines vary with the angle of the 
        line and the platform implementation.

#Topic Miter_Limit

Miter_Limit specifies the maximum miter length,
relative to the stroke width.

Miter_Limit is used when the Stroke_Join
is set to kMiter_Join, and the Style is either kStroke_Style
or kStrokeAndFill_Style.

If the miter at a corner exceeds this limit, kMiter_Join
is replaced with kBevel_Join.

Miter_Limit can be computed from the corner angle:

#Formula
    miter limit = 1 / sin ( angle / 2 )
#Formula ##

Miter_Limit default value is 4.
The default may be changed at compile time by setting SkPaintDefaults_MiterLimit
in "SkUserConfig.h" or as a define supplied by the build environment.

Stroke describes the area covered by a pen of Stroke_Width as it 
follows the Path_Contour, moving parallel to the contour direction.

If the Path_Contour is not terminated by SkPath::kClose_Verb, the contour has a
visible beginning and end.

Path_Contour may start and end at the same point; defining Zero_Length_Contour.

kButt_Cap and Zero_Length_Contour is not drawn.
kRound_Cap and Zero_Length_Contour draws a circle of diameter Stroke_Width

#Topic Stroke_Join

Stroke_Join draws at the sharp corners of an open or closed Path_Contour.

Stroke describes the area covered by a pen of Stroke_Width as it 
follows the Path_Contour, moving parallel to the contour direction.

If the contour direction changes abruptly, because the tangent direction leading
to the end of a curve within the contour does not match the tangent direction of
the following curve, the pair of curves meet at Stroke_Join.

#Example
#Height 200
    SkPaint paint;
    paint.setStyle(SkPaint::kStroke_Style);
    paint.setStrokeWidth(20);
    SkPath path;
    path.moveTo(30, 20);

    static constexpr int kJoinCount = kLast_Join + 1;
##

Join specifies how corners are drawn when a shape is stroked. Join
affects the four corners of a stroked rectangle, and the connected segments in a
stroked path.

Choose miter join to draw sharp corners. Choose round join to draw a circle with a
radius equal to the stroke width on top of the corner. Choose bevel join to minimally
connect the thick strokes.

The fill path constructed to describe the stroked path respects the join setting but may 
not contain the actual join. For instance, a fill path constructed with round joins does
not necessarily include circles at each connected segment.

#Const kMiter_Join 0
    Extends the outside corner to the extent allowed by Miter_Limit.
    If the extension exceeds Miter_Limit, kBevel_Join is used instead.
##

#Const kRound_Join 1
    Adds a circle with a diameter of Stroke_Width at the sharp corner.
##

#Const kBevel_Join 2
    Connects the outside edges of the sharp corner.

#Topic Fill_Path

Fill_Path creates a Path by applying the Path_Effect, followed by the Style_Stroke.

If Paint contains Path_Effect, Path_Effect operates on the source Path; the result
replaces the destination Path. Otherwise, the source Path is replaces the
destination Path.

Fill Path can request the Path_Effect to restrict to a culling rectangle, but
the Path_Effect is not required to do so.

If Style is kStroke_Style or kStrokeAndFill_Style, 
and Stroke_Width is greater than zero, the Stroke_Width, Stroke_Cap, Stroke_Join,
and Miter_Limit operate on the destination Path, replacing it.

Fill Path can specify the precision used by Stroke_Width to approximate the stroke geometry. 

If the Style is kStroke_Style and the Stroke_Width is zero, getFillPath
returns false since Hairline has no filled equivalent.

#Method bool getFillPath(const SkPath& src, SkPath* dst, const SkRect* cullRect,
                     SkScalar resScale = 1) const

#Topic Shader_Methods

Shader defines the colors used when drawing a shape.
Shader may be an image, a gradient, or a computed fill.
If Paint has no Shader, then Color fills the shape. 

Shader is modulated by Color_Alpha component of Color.
If Shader object defines only Color_Alpha, then Color modulated by Color_Alpha describes
the fill.

The drawn transparency can be modified without altering Shader, by changing Color_Alpha.

#Example
void draw(SkCanvas* canvas) {
   SkPaint paint;
   SkPoint center = { 50, 50 };
   SkScalar radius = 50;
   const SkColor colors[] = { 0xFFFFFFFF, 0xFF000000 };
   paint.setShader(SkGradientShader::MakeRadial(center, radius, colors,
        nullptr, SK_ARRAY_COUNT(colors), SkShader::kClamp_TileMode));
   for (SkScalar a : { 0.3f, 0.6f, 1.0f } ) {
       paint.setAlpha((int) (a * 255));
       canvas->drawCircle(center.fX, center.fY, radius, paint);
       canvas->translate(70, 70);
   }
}
##

If Shader generates only Color_Alpha then all components of Color modulate the output.

#Example
void draw(SkCanvas* canvas) {
   SkPaint paint;
   SkBitmap bitmap;
   bitmap.setInfo(SkImageInfo::MakeA8(5, 1), 5);  // bitmap only contains alpha
   uint8_t pixels[5] = { 0x22, 0x55, 0x88, 0xBB, 0xFF };
   bitmap.setPixels(pixels);
   paint.setShader(SkShader::MakeBitmapShader(bitmap, 
            SkShader::kMirror_TileMode, SkShader::kMirror_TileMode));
   for (SkColor c : { SK_ColorRED, SK_ColorBLUE, SK_ColorGREEN } ) {
       paint.setColor(c);  // all components in color affect shader

#Topic Rasterizer_Methods

Rasterizer controls how shapes are converted to Mask_Alpha. 
Rasterizer operates at a higher level than Mask_Filter; Rasterizer takes a Path,
and returns a Mask.

Rasterizer may change the geometry and transparency of the shape, such as
creating a shadow effect. Rasterizer forms the base of Rasterizer_Layer, which
creates effects like embossing and outlining.

Rasterizer applies to Rect, Region, Round_Rect, Arcs, Circles, Ovals,
Path, and Text.

#Example
#Height 64
    void draw(SkCanvas* canvas) {
        SkLayerRasterizer::Builder layerBuilder;

#Topic Image_Filter_Methods

Image_Filter operates on the pixel representation of the shape, as modified by Paint
with Blend_Mode set to SkBlendMode::kSrcOver. Image_Filter creates a new bitmap,
which is drawn to the device using the set Blend_Mode.

Image_Filter is higher level than Mask_Filter; for instance, an Image_Filter
can operate on all channels of Color, while Mask_Filter generates Alpha only.
Image_Filter operates independently of and can be used in combination with
Mask_Filter and Rasterizer.

#Topic Draw_Looper_Methods

Draw_Looper sets a modifier that communicates state from one Draw_Layer
to another to construct the draw.

Draw_Looper draws one or more times, modifying the canvas and paint each time.
Draw_Looper may be used to draw multiple colors or create a colored shadow.
Set Draw_Looper to nullptr to prevent Draw_Looper from modifying the draw. 

#Example
#Height 128
    void draw(SkCanvas* canvas) {
        SkLayerDrawLooper::LayerInfo info;
        info.fPaintBits = (SkLayerDrawLooper::BitFlags) SkLayerDrawLooper::kColorFilter_Bit;
        info.fColorMode = SkBlendMode::kSrc;
        SkLayerDrawLooper::Builder looperBuilder;
        SkPaint* loopPaint = looperBuilder.addLayer(info);
        loopPaint->setColor(SK_ColorRED);
        info.fOffset.set(20, 20);
        loopPaint = looperBuilder.addLayer(info);
        loopPaint->setColor(SK_ColorBLUE);
        SkPaint paint;
        paint.setDrawLooper(looperBuilder.detach());
        canvas->drawCircle(50, 50, 50, paint);

#Enum Align
#Code
    enum Align {
        kLeft_Align,
        kCenter_Align,
        kRight_Align,
    };
##

Align adjusts the text relative to the text position.
Align affects Glyphs drawn with: SkCanvas::drawText, SkCanvas::drawPosText,
SkCanvas::drawPosTextH, SkCanvas::drawTextOnPath, 
SkCanvas::drawTextOnPathHV, SkCanvas::drawTextRSXform, SkCanvas::drawTextBlob,
and SkCanvas::drawString; 
as well as calls that place text Glyphs like getTextWidths and getTextPath.

The text position is set by the font for both horizontal and vertical text.
Typically, for horizontal text, the position is to the left side of the glyph on the
base line; and for vertical text, the position is the horizontal center of the glyph
at the caps height.

Align adjusts the glyph position to center it or move it to abut the position 
using the metrics returned by the font.

Align defaults to kLeft_Align.

#Const kLeft_Align 0
    Leaves the glyph at the position computed by the font offset by the text position.
##

#Const kCenter_Align 1
    Moves the glyph half its width if Flags has kVerticalText_Flag clear, and
    half its height if Flags has kVerticalText_Flag set.
##

#Const kRight_Align 2
    Moves the glyph by its width if Flags has kVerticalText_Flag clear,
    and by its height if Flags has kVerticalText_Flag set.

##

TextEncoding determines whether text specifies character codes and their encoded
size, or glyph indices. Characters are encoded as specified by the
#A Unicode standard # http://unicode.org/standard/standard.html ##
.

Character codes encoded size are specified by UTF-8, UTF-16, or UTF-32.
All character code formats are able to represent all of Unicode, differing only
in the total storage required.

#A UTF-8 (RFC 3629) # https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3629 ##
 encodes each character as one or more 8-bit bytes.

#A UTF-16 (RFC 2781) # https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2781 ##
 encodes each character as one or two 16-bit words.

#A UTF-32 # http://www.unicode.org/versions/Unicode5.0.0/ch03.pdf ##
 encodes each character as one 32-bit word.

Font_Manager uses font data to convert character code points into glyph indices. 
A glyph index is a 16-bit word.

TextEncoding is set to kUTF8_TextEncoding by default.

#Const kUTF8_TextEncoding 0

#Topic Font_Metrics

Font_Metrics describe dimensions common to the Glyphs in Typeface.
The dimensions are computed by Font_Manager from font data and do not take 
Paint settings other than Text_Size into account.

Font dimensions specify the anchor to the left of the glyph at baseline as the origin.
X-axis values to the left of the glyph are negative, and to the right of the left glyph edge
are positive.
Y-axis values above the baseline are negative, and below the baseline are positive.

    FontMetrics is filled out by getFontMetrics. FontMetrics contents reflect the values
    computed by Font_Manager using Typeface. Values are set to zero if they are
    not available.

    All vertical values relative to the baseline are given y-down. As such, zero is on the
    baseline, negative values are above the baseline, and positive values are below the
    baseline.

    fUnderlineThickness and fUnderlinePosition have a bit set in fFlags if their values
    are valid, since their value may be zero.

    fStrikeoutThickness and fStrikeoutPosition have a bit set in fFlags if their values
    are valid, since their value may be zero.

#Method int getTextWidths(const void* text, size_t byteLength, SkScalar widths[],
                      SkRect bounds[] = nullptr) const

    Retrieves the advance and bounds for each glyph in text, and returns
    the glyph count in text.
    Both widths and bounds may be nullptr.
    If widths is not nullptr, widths must be an array of glyph count entries.
    if bounds is not nullptr, bounds must be an array of glyph count entries. 
    If kVerticalText_Flag is clear, widths returns the horizontal advance.
    If kVerticalText_Flag is set, widths returns the vertical advance.
    Uses Text_Encoding to decode text, Typeface to get the font metrics,
    and Text_Size to scale the widths and bounds.
    Does not scale the advance by Fake_Bold or Path_Effect.
    Does include Fake_Bold and Path_Effect in the bounds.

#Method void getTextPath(const void* text, size_t length, SkScalar x, SkScalar y,
                     SkPath* path) const

Returns the geometry as Path equivalent to the drawn text.
Uses Text_Encoding to decode text, Typeface to get the glyph paths,
and Text_Size, Fake_Bold, and Path_Effect to scale and modify the glyph paths.
All of the glyph paths are stored in path.
Uses x, y, and Text_Align to position path.

#Topic Text_Intercepts

Text_Intercepts describe the intersection of drawn text Glyphs with a pair
of lines parallel to the text advance. Text_Intercepts permits creating a
underline that skips Descenders.

#Method int getTextIntercepts(const void* text, size_t length, SkScalar x, SkScalar y,
                          const SkScalar bounds[2], SkScalar* intervals) const

    Returns the number of intervals that intersect bounds.
    bounds describes a pair of lines parallel to the text advance.
    The return count is zero or a multiple of two, and is at most twice the number of Glyphs in
    the string. 
    Uses Text_Encoding to decode text, Typeface to get the glyph paths,
    and Text_Size, Fake_Bold, and Path_Effect to scale and modify the glyph paths.
    Uses x, y, and Text_Align to position intervals.
    
    Pass nullptr for intervals to determine the size of the interval array.
    
    intervals are cached to improve performance for multiple calls.

Paint may draw to.

#Method bool canComputeFastBounds() const
    #Private  
    (to be made private)
    ##

    Returns true if Paint does not include elements requiring extensive computation
    to compute Device bounds of drawn geometry. For instance, Paint with Path_Effect
    always returns false.

    #Return  true if Paint allows for fast computation of bounds ##
##

#Method const SkRect& computeFastBounds(const SkRect& orig, SkRect* storage) const
    #Private  
    (to be made private)
    ##

    Only call this if canComputeFastBounds returned true. This takes a
    raw rectangle (the raw bounds of a shape), and adjusts it for stylistic
    effects in the paint (e.g. stroking). If needed, it uses the storage
    parameter. It returns the adjusted bounds that can then be used
    for SkCanvas::quickReject tests.

    The returned Rect will either be orig or storage, thus the caller
    should not rely on storage being set to the result, but should always
    use the returned value. It is legal for orig and storage to be the same
    Rect.

    #Private  
    e.g.
    if (paint.canComputeFastBounds()) {
    SkRect r, storage;
    path.computeBounds(&r, SkPath::kFast_BoundsType);
    const SkRect& fastR = paint.computeFastBounds(r, &storage);
