Overview

Each test in the gm directory draws a reference image. Their primary purpose is to detect when images change unexpectedly, indicating that a rendering bug has been introduced.

The gm tests have a secondary purpose: they detect when rendering is different across platforms and configurations.

GM font selection

Each gm specifies the typeface to use when drawing text. To create a portable typeface, use:

SkTypeface* typeface = ToolUtils::CreatePortableTypeface(const char* name,

SkFontStyle style);
