FreeHandShearCommand Class

Summary

Shears the image by the wave drawn using the amplitudes array. This command is available in the Imaging Pro and above toolkits.

Syntax

C++/CLI

public class FreeHandShearCommand : RasterCommand

public ref class FreeHandShearCommand : public RasterCommand

Remarks

This command will shear the image using the wave in the amplitudes array. The wave can be applied vertically or horizontally. The amplitudes data can be obtained from the Leadtools.ImageProcessing.Effects.EffectsUtilities.GetCurvePoints(System.Int32[],Leadtools.LeadPoint[],Leadtools.ImageProcessing.Effects.CurvePointsType) utility method.
If the image has a region, the effect will be applied on the region only.
This command supports 12-bit and 16-bit grayscale and 48-bit and 64-bit color images. Support for 12-bit and 16-bit grayscale and 48-bit and 64-bit color images is available only in the Document/Medical toolkits.
This command does not support signed data images.
This command does not support 32-bit grayscale images.
