L_ShearBitmap

#include "l_bitmap.h"

L_LTKRN_API L_INT L_ShearBitmap(pBitmap, nAngle, fHorizontal, crFill)

pBITMAPHANDLE pBitmap;	/* pointer to the bitmap handle */
L_INT nAngle;	/* angle of slant */
L_BOOL fHorizontal;	/* TRUE for horizontal, FALSE for vertical */
L_COLORREF crFill;	/* COLORREF value for the fill color */

Moves the corners of a bitmap in the fashion of a parallelogram.

Parameter	Description
pBitmap	Pointer to the bitmap handle referencing the bitmap to shear.
nAngle	The angle of slant. Positive values are for clockwise angles; negative values are for counterclockwise angles. The angle is expressed in hundredths of degrees, with a limit of 4500 (45 degrees).
fHorizontal	TRUE for horizontal shear, or FALSE for vertical shear.
crFill	The COLORREF value that specifies the fill color. You can specify a COLORREF value, such as the return value of the Windows RGB macro, or you can use the PALETTEINDEX macro to specify a palette color.

Returns

SUCCESS	The function was successful.
< 1	An error occurred. Refer to Return Codes.

Comments

This function does not support signed data images. It returns the error code ERROR_SIGNED_DATA_NOT_SUPPORTED if a signed data image is passed to this function.

You specify an angle of slant, horizontal or vertical shear, and the fill color for the created space.
