AlphaBlendCommand Class

Summary

Combines image data from two images, using a specific opacity value.

Syntax
C#
VB
Objective-C
C++
Java
public class AlphaBlendCommand : RasterCommand 
Public Class AlphaBlendCommand  
   Inherits RasterCommand 
@interface LTAlphaBlendCommand : LTRasterCommand 
public class AlphaBlendCommand extends RasterCommand 
public ref class AlphaBlendCommand : public RasterCommand   

Remarks
  • The opacity determines how much the affected image will show through the source image. For example, if the Opacity property (or the opacity parameter in the constructor) is set to 255 (completely opaque) then the source image will appear and the affected image will not show through the source image at all. If the opacity is 128 (half opacity), then the pixels for that area will consist of 50 percent from the source image and 50 percent from the affected 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 AlphaBlendCommand on an image.
