• This command will divide the image into rectangular or circular cells.
• Flags indicate whether to use rectangular or circular cells and indicates the type of information in the other properties or parameters.
• If the image is divided into circular cells by setting the PixelateCommandBitmapEffectsFlags.Radial flag, the cells will be centered around the specified center point. This center point must be defined inside the image.
• An example of circular cell division can be seen below:
  This is the original image:
  
  
  
  The image below is the result of the following settings:
  command.Flags = PixelateCommandBitmapEffectsFlags.Radial | PixelateCommandBitmapEffectsFlags.WidthPeriod | PixelateCommandBitmapEffectsFlags.HeightPeriod | PixelateCommandBitmapEffectsFlags.Average;
  command.CellWidth = 90;
  command.CellHeight = 40;
  
  This indicates the circular cells are divided into 90 degree cell divisions and each cell has a radial length of 40 pixels. Each cell division is filled with the average value for that cell division.
  
  
  
  The image below is the result of the following settings:
  
  command.Flags = PixelateCommandBitmapEffectsFlags.Radial | PixelateCommandBitmapEffectsFlags.WidthFrequency | PixelateCommandBitmapEffectsFlags.HeightFrequency | PixelateCommandBitmapEffectsFlags.Average;
  command.CellWidth = 90;
  command.CellHeight = 40;
  
  This indicates the circular cells are divided into 90 separate cell divisions around the center point and there are 40 cell divisions along the radius. Each cell division is filled with the average value for that cell division.
  
  
• This command does not support signed data images.
