TextureAlphaBlendCommand Class

Summary
Combines image data from two images with feathering and constant opacity; by combining the two images with a variable opacity that depends on a fade mask then combine the result with the destination image with a constant opacity.
Syntax
C#
VB
C++
public class TextureAlphaBlendCommand : RasterCommand 
Public Class TextureAlphaBlendCommand  
   Inherits RasterCommand 
public ref class TextureAlphaBlendCommand : public RasterCommand   
Remarks
  • To combine two images with a fixed opacity, use the AlphaBlendCommand.
  • To combine two images with a feather, use the FeatherAlphaBlendCommand.
  • The TextureAlphaBlendCommand does the two operations; first it combines the two images with feathering using the fade mask image, then combines the result with the destination image with a fixed opacity.
  • To create an image that contains a fade mask, use FadedMaskCommand.
  • This command can also underlay the fade mask image with the underlay image before using it in the feather combine operation.
  • This command also combines the fade mask image with the underlay image so that it appears to be an underlying texture for the fade mask image.
  • The following is an example for the resulted image using this commands with the following characteristics:

    • The source image is a red image.
    • The destination image is a white image.
    • The opacity is set to 255.
    • The left image is the result of applying the method without texture image.
    • The right image is the result of applying the method with texture image.

  • This command supports 12 and 16-bit grayscale and 48 and 64-bit color images. Support for 12 and 16-bit grayscale and 48 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.

Example

Run the TextureAlphaBlendCommand on an image.

C#
VB

   // Load an image

   // Prepare the command 
   RasterImage SrcImage; 
   RasterImage MaskImage;
