- 52. (Pre-4) WPF Text Rendering
- 53. WPF 4 <left> vs. GDI <right>
- 54. Text in WPF 4 APIs In a Nutshell <Page...<StackPanel TextOptions.TextRenderingMode="ClearType" TextOptions.TextFormattingMode="Display"> <TextBlock Text="This will use Display mode formatting and render with ClearType"/> </StackPanel> </Page>
- 55. Text APIsTextFormattingModeIdeal.Maintains high fidelity with their outlines from the font file (default behavior which uses IdealWidth text metrics)Display.Glyph has width of multiple whole pixels and is positioned on whole pixels (optional new behavior which uses CompatibleWidthtext metrics)When To Use Ideal ModeLarge Text – As text size increases, Ideal clarity issues dissipate. After ~15pt, Ideal mode is as clear & better spaced than display mode textTransformed Text – If transform is applied to text, Ideal mode should be used. Ideal mode text is designed to be drawn anywhereZoomed Text – Zooming text is a special case of transformed text. Zoomed text should be implemented by increasing the text sizeWhen To Use Display ModeSmall Text – Smaller WPF text (<~15pt) can appear more blurry. If so, switching to display mode should help
- 56. Text APIsTextRenderingModeAliased (aliased rendering)Grayscale (grayscale antialiasing)ClearType (ClearType always on)Auto (ClearType unless otherwise specified in the system font smoothing options)Comparison of ClearType ,Grayscale, Aliased text using Display TextFormattingMode
- 58. Layout RoundingWPF Uses DPI-independent Graphics SystemObjects Fall “Between Pixels”Side Effects: Rendering ArtifactsAnti-aliased blurrinessSemi-transparent edgesLayout RoundingNon-integer Pixel Values Are Rounded To Whole Numbers during Measureand ArrangeUseLayoutRounding.Rounds an object’s coordinates on whole pixels
- 60. GraphicsComposition API – give application authors fine grained control over caching rendered elements in video memoryAn input to a shader effectA brush to fill any arbitrary 2D shapeA texture on a 3D model Text Rendering – New and Improved (on all Windows versions)Pixel Shader 3 Support 256 65,000 instructionsExtends 3.5 SP1’s ShaderEffect with PS 3 supportTools like Shazzam edit and test Pixel Shader Effectshttp://www.shazzam-tool.com
- 61. Cached CompositionBitmapCacheenable caching of entire or partial visual treeAvoids Re-rendering Costs per-frame Significant Performance improvements possible Fully Interactive. Remains responsive to user inputRespects Dirty Regions and invalidates accordinglyFine-grain control for quality of Cached visualRenderAtScale. Fine-grain knob to set trade-off between re-rendering costs vs. quality, e.g. Processor/memory ++ 1, 2, 20X…n scale
- 63. Cached Composition UsageUIElement.CacheMode = new BitmapCache(); <RectangleCacheMode="BitmapCache"/><Rectangle><Rectangle.CacheMode><BitmapCache EnableClearType="true"RenderAtScale="4"SnapsToDevicePixel="true"/></Rectangle.CacheMode> </Rectangle>
- 64. Easing Functions for AnimationsBasic discrete, linear, spline animationsA Dozen Easing Functions for creating fluid animated behaviors Built-in (circular, exponential, elastic, and bouncy animation progress) andExtensible(custom easing functions) Behaviors!

Can I get a AMEN?The developers on the Visual Studio 2010 RC must have had their usual beverages replaced with unicorn tears or somethingVS2010 RC is fast, I wonder what happens when they hit RTM, it'll be like a cheetah, should be called VS Cheetah!!!Just tried VS2010 RC. One word incredible. Super fast, great build with things I saw in earlier releases fixed. So awesome. #vs2010 is fast like ambulances flying through a school zone at 120 mph being chased by ninjas. and the ninjas are on fire!VS 2010 RC performance is ridiculously faster, can't wait to switch over full time!
- 81. More #Feedback“Definitely a MASSIVE improvement since VS2010Beta2… So much better than the beta2 that it's hard to know where to start… GREAT WORK GUYS.” “This release works much faster and is more responsive than VS 2008.” “I was concerned about the time that particularly xaml files were taking to load - this is now way better.” “My impression of XAML editor performance seemed better – particularly in the designer.” “I’ve used the latest build over RDP and on my tablet, and I am very happy with the state of VS2010.” “Involving partners and [the] community to take feedback is a good strategy!” “Add References was fast! :)“IntelliSense seems to be faster/snappier than VS2008 – great job!”
- 82. More #Feedback@DanWahlin: The performance improvements with Visual Studio 2010 RC compared to previous builds are huge. Really happy with what I'm seeing so far. @peterbromberg: VS2010 RC: I must admit, I am impressed. Major speed and performance improvements. They are obvious immediately! @Nick_Craver: RCperformance is ridiculously faster, can't wait to switch over full time! @Rlz2cool: Just tried VS2010 RC. One word incredible. Super fast, great build with things I saw in earlier releases fixed. So awesome. @ddotterer: Trying out VS2010 RC: Snappier UI, much faster IntelliSense, significant build time reduction, etc. Overall: AWESOME JOB @tomkirbygreen: Oh my goodness, VS2010 RC is much, much faster. Kudos to the VS perf team and everyone else. Uninstalling Visual Studio 2008 :-)
