<p>A pointer to an array of ‘n_points’ chars, giving each outline point's type.</p>
<p>If bit 0 is unset, the point is ‘off’ the curve, i.e., a Bézier control point, while it is ‘on’ if set.</p>
<p>Bit 1 is meaningful for ‘off’ points only. If set, it indicates a third-order Bézier arc control point; and a second-order control point if unset.</p>
<p>If bit 2 is set, bits 5-7 contain the drop-out mode (as defined in the OpenType specification; the value is the same as the argument to the SCANMODE instruction).</p>
<p>Bits 3 and 4 are reserved for internal purposes.</p>
</td></tr>

<p>An array of ‘n_contours’ shorts, giving the end point of each contour within the outline. For example, the first contour is defined by the points ‘0’ to ‘contours[0]’, the second one is defined by the points ‘contours[0]+1’ to ‘contours[1]’, etc.</p>

<p>This function analyzes a glyph outline and tries to compute its fill orientation (see <a href="ft2-outline_processing.html#FT_Orientation">FT_Orientation</a>).

The negative integral corresponds to the counter-clockwise orientation and <a href="ft2-outline_processing.html#FT_Orientation">FT_ORIENTATION_TRUETYPE</a> is returned.</p>

<p>By default, the scan converter will try to detect drop-outs in an outline and correct the glyph bitmap to ensure consistent shape continuity. If set, this flag hints the scan-line converter to ignore such cases. See below for more information.</p>

<p>This flag is set to force a given scan-converter to only use a single pass over the outline to render a bitmap glyph image. Normally, it is set for very large character sizes. It is only a hint that might be completely ignored by a given scan-converter.</p>
