For solid color fills (with alpha = 255), the rasterizer now tracks
spans of solid colors within a scanline and fills the entire span with
a single call to fast_u32_fill().
This gave up to a 1.5x speedup drawing the Ghostscript Tiger within
SerenityOS.
This avoids doing pointless plotting for scanlines that will never be
seen.
Note: This currently can only clip edges vertically. Horizontal clipping
is more tricky, since edges that are not visible can still change how
things accumulate across the scanline.
Fixes#22382
Sadly, this causes a bunch of LibWeb test churn as this change
imperceptibly changes the final rasterized output.
This is an implementation of the scanline edge-flag algorithm for
antialiased path filling described here:
https://mlab.taik.fi/~kkallio/antialiasing/EdgeFlagAA.pdf
The initial implementation does not try to implement every possible
optimization in favour of keeping things simple. However, it does
support:
- Both evenodd and nonzero fill rules
- Applying paint styles/gradients
- A range of samples per pixel (8, 16, 32)
- Very nice antialiasing :^)
This replaces the previous path filling code, that only really applied
antialiasing in the x-axis.
There's some very nice improvements around the web with this change,
especially for small icons. Strokes are still a bit wonky, as they don't
yet use this rasterizer, but I think it should be possible to convert
them to do so.
