LBitmapBase::Shear

#include "ltwrappr.h"

virtual L_INT LBitmapBase::Shear(nAngle, bHorizontal=TRUE, crFill=0)

L_INT nAngle;	/* angle of slant */
L_BOOL bHorizontal;	/* flag that indicates the direction of the shear*/
COLORREF crFill;	/* COLORREF value for the fill color */

Moves the corners of the class object's bitmap in the fashion of a parallelogram.

Parameter	Description
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).
bHorizontal	Flag that indicates the direction of the shear. Possible values are:
	Value	Meaning
	TRUE	Horizontal shear.
	FALSE	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

You specify an angle of slant, horizontal or vertical shear, and the fill color for the created space. The following is a horizontal example:
