title: Meaning of some Paint constants in Android
body: <p>There are a few Paint constant in Android about which I couldn't find much info. Could anyone help me with a bit of explanation about those flags:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>LINEAR_TEXT_FLAG</li>
  <li>SUBPIXEL_TEXT_FLAG</li>
  <li>FILTER_BITMAP_FLAG</li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>Is 'subpixel' mode something close to ClearType or is it something altogether different?</p>
