The blendMode attribute can be applied to PartText, PartImage,
PartAnimatedImage and PartDraw elements to configure how two
overlapping Part* objects are rendered.
Introduced in Wear OS 5.1.
| Blend mode |
Description |
CLEAR |
Destination pixels covered by the source are cleared to 0.
|
COLOR |
Replaces hue and saturation of destination with hue and saturation of source, leaving luminosity unchanged.
|
COLOR_BURN |
Makes destination darker to reflect source.
|
COLOR_DODGE |
Makes destination brighter to reflect source.
|
DARKEN |
Retains the smallest component of the source and destination pixels.
|
DIFFERENCE |
Subtracts darker from lighter with higher contrast.
|
DST |
The source pixels are discarded, leaving the destination intact.
|
DST_ATOP |
Discards the destination pixels that are not covered by source pixels.
|
DST_IN |
Keeps the destination pixels that cover source pixels, discards the remaining source and destination pixels.
|
DST_OUT |
Keeps the destination pixels that are not covered by source pixels.
|
DST_OVER |
The source pixels are drawn behind the destination pixels.
|
EXCLUSION |
Subtracts darker from lighter with lower contrast.
|
HARD_LIGHT |
Makes destination lighter or darker, depending on source.
|
HUE |
Replaces hue of destination with hue of source, leaving saturation and luminosity unchanged.
|
LIGHTEN |
Retains the largest component of the source and destination pixels.
|
LUMINOSITY |
Replaces luminosity of destination with luminosity of source, leaving hue and saturation unchanged.
|
MODULATE |
Multiplies the source and destination pixels.
|
MULTIPLY |
Multiplies the source and destination pixels.
|
OVERLAY |
Multiplies or screens the source and destination depending on the destination color.
|
PLUS |
Adds the source pixels to the destination pixels and saturates the result.
|
SATURATION |
Replaces saturation of destination with saturation of source, leaving hue and luminosity unchanged.
|
SCREEN |
Adds the source and destination pixels, then subtracts the source pixels multiplied by the destination.
|
SOFT_LIGHT |
Makes destination lighter or darker, depending on source.
|
SRC |
The source pixels replace the destination pixels.
|
SRC_ATOP |
Discards the source pixels that do not cover destination pixels.
|
SRC_IN |
Keeps the source pixels that cover the destination pixels, discards the remaining source and destination pixels.
|
SRC_OUT |
Keeps the source pixels that do not cover destination pixels.
|
SRC_OVER |
The source pixels are drawn over the destination pixels.
|
XOR |
Discards the source and destination pixels where source pixels cover destination pixels.
