/*
* The following explanations are mostly taken from the article
*
* Real-Time Grid Fitting of Typographic Outlines
*
* by David Turner and Werner Lemberg
*
*
* with appropriate updates.
*
*
* Segments
*
* `af_{cjk,latin,...}_hints_compute_segments' are the functions to
* find segments in an outline.
*
* A segment is a series of at least two consecutive points that are
* approximately aligned along a coordinate axis. The analysis to do
* so is specific to a writing system.
*
*
* Edges
*
* `af_{cjk,latin,...}_hints_compute_edges' are the functions to find
* edges.
*
* As soon as segments are defined, the auto-hinter groups them into
* edges. An edge corresponds to a single position on the main
* dimension that collects one or more segments (allowing for a small
* threshold).
*
* As an example, the `latin' writing system first tries to grid-fit
* edges, then to align segments on the edges unless it detects that
* they form a serif.

*
* Stems
*
* Stems are detected by `af_{cjk,latin,...}_hint_edges'.
*
* Segments need to be `linked' to other ones in order to detect stems.
* A stem is made of two segments that face each other in opposite
* directions and that are sufficiently close to each other. Using
* vocabulary from the TrueType specification, stem segments form a
* `black distance'.
*
* In the above ASCII drawing, the horizontal segments are BC, DE, and
* FG; the vertical segments are AB, CD, EF, and GH.
*
* Each segment has at most one `best' candidate to form a black
* distance, or no candidate at all. Notice that two distinct segments
* can have the same candidate, which frequently means a serif.
*
* A stem is recognized by the following condition:
*
* best segment_1 = segment_2 && best segment_2 = segment_1
*
* The best candidate is stored in field `link' in structure
* `AF_Segment'.
*
* In the above ASCII drawing, the best candidate for both AB and CD is
* GH, while the best candidate for GH is AB. Similarly, the best
* candidate for EF and GH is AB, while the best candidate for AB is
* GH.
*
* The detection and handling of stems is dependent on the writing
* system.
*
*
* Serifs
*
* Serifs are detected by `af_{cjk,latin,...}_hint_edges'.
*
* In comparison to a stem, a serif (as handled by the auto-hinter
* module that takes care of the `latin' writing system) has
*
* best segment_1 = segment_2 && best segment_2 != segment_1
*
* where segment_1 corresponds to the serif segment (CD and EF in the
* above ASCII drawing).
*
* The best candidate is stored in field `serif' in structure
* `AF_Segment' (and `link' is set to NULL).
*
*
* Touched points
*
* A point is called `touched' if it has been processed somehow by the
* auto-hinter. It basically means that it shouldn't be moved again
* (or moved only under certain constraints to preserve the already
* applied processing).
*
*
* Flat and round segments
*
* Segments are `round' or `flat', depending on the series of points
* that define them. A segment is round if the next and previous point
* of an extremum (which can be either a single point or sequence of
* points) are both conic or cubic control points. Otherwise, a
* segment with an extremum is flat.
*
*
* Strong Points
*
* Experience has shown that points not part of an edge need to be
* interpolated linearly between their two closest edges, even if these
* are not part of the contour of those particular points. Typical
* candidates for this are
*
* - angle points (i.e., points where the `in' and `out' direction
* differ greatly)
*
* - inflection points (i.e., where the `in' and `out' angles are the
* same, but the curvature changes sign) [currently, such points
* aren't handled specially in the auto-hinter]
*
* `af_glyph_hints_align_strong_points' is the function that takes
* care of such situations; it is equivalent to the TrueType `IP'
* hinting instruction.
*
*
* Weak Points
*
* Other points in the outline must be interpolated using the
* coordinates of their previous and next unfitted contour neighbours.
* These are called `weak points' and are touched by the function
* `af_glyph_hints_align_weak_points', equivalent to the TrueType `IUP'
* hinting instruction. Typical candidates are control points and
* points on the contour without a major direction.
*
* The major effect is to reduce possible distortion caused by
* alignment of edges and strong points, thus weak points are processed
* after strong points.
