Enum RuleSegmentKind

Namespace

DocWright.Core.Rendering

Assembly

DocWright.Core.dll

What a RuleSegment is, which decides how a renderer puts its thickness on Word's 1/600-inch device grain (WQ-0040, WQ-0054).

public enum RuleSegmentKind : byte

Fields

Other = 0

A rule of no particular kind: drawn at its nominal geometry.

Border = 1

A paragraph or table border: the thickness truncates to whole grains.

TextDecoration = 2

An underline or strikethrough: leading edge and thickness round to whole grains.

Separator = 3

The w:cols/@w:sep column separator: nominal today (WQ-0040(b) is not implemented).

Remarks

Word quantises every painted rule to 1/600 in, but not all the same way: a border's width is truncated to whole grains (0.75 pt draws 0.72; 0.5 pt draws 0.48), while an underline or strikethrough is the face's own metric rounded to whole grains, and its leading edge sits on the grain too. A rule of an unknown kind is drawn at its nominal geometry, which is what every rule was before the kinds existed.
