• This command shows the effect of placing images on planes along the Z-axis and bending them toward a specific point. These images may be placed above, below, to the left or to the right of the Z-axis. An external light source of the specified color and brightness may be shined on the images. The brightness may vary along the z-axis according to the bright length value. The line of images may be bent toward a specific point by setting a bending value.
• By changing the center point and the viewing screen Z-offset, you can simulate moving along the axis.
• For an example, see the following figure:

  

  The following figure shows the same image, after the effect has been applied:

  

  To obtain this effect, the following settings were used with the method:
  
  1. CenterPoint = new Point(640, 256)
  2. ZValue = 0
  3. Distance = 256
  4. PlaneOffset = 256
  5. Repeat = -1
  6. PyramidAngle = 0
  7. Stretch = 100
  8. BendFactor = 500
  9. StartBright = 0
  10. EndBright = 0
  11. BrightLength = 50
  12. BrightColor = FromRgb(255, 255, 255)
  13. FillColor = FromRgb(0, 0, 0)
  14. Flags = PlaneCommandBitmapEffectsFlags.Down | PlaneCommandBitmapEffectsFlags.Color
• This command does not support signed data images.
