Constant Detail

### NONE

Constant

`public static const NONE:String = "none"`

Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0

Runtime Versions: | AIR 1.0, Flash Player 9

Doesn't set grid fitting. Horizontal and vertical lines in the glyphs are not forced to the pixel grid. This constant is used in setting the `gridFitType` property of the TextField class. This is often a good setting for animation or for large font sizes. Use the syntax `GridFitType.NONE`.

### PIXEL

Constant

`public static const PIXEL:String = "pixel"`

Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0

Runtime Versions: | AIR 1.0, Flash Player 9

Fits strong horizontal and vertical lines to the pixel grid. This constant is used in setting the `gridFitType` property of the TextField class. This setting only works for left-justified text fields and acts like the `GridFitType.SUBPIXEL` constant in static text. This setting generally provides the best readability for left-aligned text. Use the syntax `GridFitType.PIXEL`.

### SUBPIXEL

Constant

`public static const SUBPIXEL:String = "subpixel"`

Language Version: | ActionScript 3.0

Runtime Versions: | AIR 1.0, Flash Player 9

Fits strong horizontal and vertical lines to the sub-pixel grid on LCD monitors. (Red, green, and blue are actual pixels on an LCD screen.) This is often a good setting for right-aligned or center-aligned dynamic text, and it is sometimes a useful tradeoff for animation vs. text quality. This constant is used in setting the `gridFitType` property of the TextField class. Use the syntax `GridFitType.SUBPIXEL`.
