Underlay Method

Summary

Combines two images so that one appears to be an underlying texture for the other.

Syntax

Java

Objective-C

WinRT C#

C++

public void Underlay( 
   RasterImage underlayImage, 
   RasterImageUnderlayFlags flags 
)

Public Sub Underlay( _ 
   ByVal underlayImage As Leadtools.RasterImage, _ 
   ByVal flags As Leadtools.RasterImageUnderlayFlags _ 
)

public void Underlay(  
   Leadtools.RasterImage underlayImage, 
   Leadtools.RasterImageUnderlayFlags flags 
)

- (BOOL)underlay:(LTRasterImage *)underlayImage  
           flags:(LTRasterImageUnderlayFlags)flags  
           error:(NSError **)error

public void underlay( 
  RasterImage underlayImage,  
  RasterImageUnderlayFlags flags 
)

 function Leadtools.RasterImage.Underlay(  
   underlayImage , 
   flags  
)

public: 
void Underlay(  
   Leadtools.RasterImage^ underlayImage, 
   Leadtools.RasterImageUnderlayFlags flags 
)

Parameters

underlayImage
The image that will be used as the underlying image. This is the image that appears to be on bottom and is grayscaled as it is combined with the target image.

flags
Indicators of how the underlying image is to be positioned.

Remarks

This is most effective when the underlying image is a filtered one, such as an embossed image.

This method changes the colors of the underlay to grayscale as it combines the images. It updates this RasterImage, leaving the underlayImage unchanged. underlayImage can either be stretched or tiled to fill the image, as shown in the following illustration:

Example

This example draws an ellipse on the image.
