FeatherAlphaBlendCommand Class

Summary

Combines image data from two images with feathering. The two images can be combined with variable opacity applied by specifying the region of a fade mask image.

Syntax

Objective-C

C++

Java

public class FeatherAlphaBlendCommand : RasterCommand

Public Class FeatherAlphaBlendCommand  
   Inherits RasterCommand

@interface LTFeatherAlphaBlendCommand : LTRasterCommand

public class FeatherAlphaBlendCommand extends RasterCommand

public ref class FeatherAlphaBlendCommand : public RasterCommand

Remarks

To combine two images with a fixed opacity, use the AlphaBlendCommand.
The FeatherAlphaBlendCommand achieves feathering between two images by using variable opacity values, obtained from the fade mask referenced by MaskImage. Use the MaskSourcePoint to specify a region of the mask image, these values are the coordinates of the origin of the mask rectangle.
To create an image that contains a fade mask, use FadedMaskCommand command.
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 FeatherAlphaBlendCommand on an image.
