With the LEADTOOLS special effects you can develop visually stimulating multimedia projects, presentation applications, or enhance websites.

Special effects

• Specify an effect that is applied when painting the image from a bitmap.
• Specify a transition between images, which is an effect that paints a pattern or gradient color.
• Control the speed, granularity, multiple paint passes, transparent color, and wand usage when painting images or transitions.
• Specify a transparent color and paint a control with a transparent background.

Shape or text object rendering

• Paint a rectangular area that contains a pattern or gradient color. This is useful for creating a bitmap that can be used as the background of a shape object or the foreground of a text object.
• Draw a shape with a three-dimensional appearance. The shape can be one of 80 variations of rectangles, triangles, circles, and so forth, or it can be created from an existing Windows region.
• Draw a text object with a three-dimensional appearance. The text can be rotated with precision to a tenth of a degree.
• Specify a bitmap to use as the background of a shape, or as the foreground of a text object.
• Draw a frame with a three-dimensional appearance. (In the ActiveX the frame is applied as a border of the control.)
• Draw a simple Windows-style line, rectangle, or ellipse, with standard options for the draw-mode, pen, and fill.
