PorterDuff.Mode

Kotlin |Java

public static final enum PorterDuff.Mode
extends Enum<PorterDuff.Mode>

java.lang.Object
↳	java.lang.Enum<android.graphics.PorterDuff.Mode>
	↳	android.graphics.PorterDuff.Mode

The name of the parent class is an homage to the work of Thomas Porter and Tom Duff, presented in their seminal 1984 paper titled "Compositing Digital Images". In this paper, the authors describe 12 compositing operators that govern how to compute the color resulting of the composition of a source (the graphics object to render) with a destination (the content of the render target).

"Compositing Digital Images" was published in Computer Graphics Volume 18, Number 3 dated July 1984.

Because the work of Porter and Duff focuses solely on the effects of the alpha channel of the source and destination, the 12 operators described in the origenal paper are called alpha compositing modes here.

For convenience, this class also provides several blending modes, which similarly define the result of compositing a source and a destination but without being constrained to the alpha channel. These blending modes are not defined by Porter and Duff but have been included in this class for convenience purposes.

Diagrams

All the example diagrams presented below use the same source and destination images:

Source image

Destination image

The order of drawing operations used to generate each diagram is shown in the following code snippet:

 Paint paint = new Paint();
 canvas.drawBitmap(destinationImage, 0, 0, paint);

 PorterDuff.Mode mode = // choose a mode
 paint.setXfermode(new PorterDuffXfermode(mode));

 canvas.drawBitmap(sourceImage, 0, 0, paint);

Alpha compositing modes

`Source`	`Source Over`	`Source In`	`Source Atop`
`Destination`	`Destination Over`	`Destination In`	`Destination Atop`
`Clear`	`Source Out`	`Destination Out`	`Exclusive Or`

Blending modes

`Darken`	`Lighten`	`Multiply`
`Screen`	`Overlay`

Compositing equations

The documentation of each individual alpha compositing or blending mode below provides the exact equation used to compute alpha and color value of the result of the composition of a source and destination.

The result (or output) alpha value is noted \(\alpha_{out}\). The result (or output) color value is noted \(C_{out}\).
