PlaneBendCommand Class

Summary

Places the image on parallel planes along the Z-axis, and bends the planes toward the center point. This command is available in the Imaging Pro and above toolkits.

Syntax

C++

public class PlaneBendCommand : RasterCommand

  
Public Class PlaneBendCommand  
   Inherits RasterCommand

public ref class PlaneBendCommand : public RasterCommand

Remarks

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.
If the image has a region, the effect will be applied on the region dimensions only.
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 Leadtools.LeadPoint(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 = new Leadtools.RasterColor(255, 255, 255)
13. FillColor = new Leadtools.RasterColor(0, 0, 0)
14. Flags = PlaneCommandFlags.Down | PlaneCommandFlags.Color
15. This command does not support 32-bit grayscale images.
This command supports 12-bit and 16-bit grayscale and 48-bit and 64-bit color images. Support for 12-bit and 16-bit grayscale and 48-bit and 64-bit color images is available only in the Document/Medical toolkits.
This command does not support signed data images.

Example

Run the PlaneBendCommand on an image.

using Leadtools; 
using Leadtools.Codecs; 
using Leadtools.ImageProcessing.SpecialEffects; 
 
public void PlaneBendCommandExample() 
{ 
   // Load an image 
   RasterCodecs codecs = new RasterCodecs(); 
   codecs.ThrowExceptionsOnInvalidImages = true; 
 
   RasterImage image = codecs.Load(Path.Combine(LEAD_VARS.ImagesDir, "sample5.cmp")); 
 
   // Prepare the command 
   PlaneBendCommand command = new PlaneBendCommand(); 
   command.CenterPoint = new LeadPoint(image.Width / 2, image.Height / 2); 
   command.ZValue = 0; 
   command.Distance = image.Height; 
   command.PlaneOffset = image.Width / 2; 
   command.Repeat = -1; 
   command.PyramidAngle = 0; 
   command.Stretch = 100; 
   command.BendFactor = 400; 
   command.StartBright = 0; 
   command.EndBright = 100; 
   command.BrightLength = 20000; 
   command.BrightColor = new RasterColor(255, 255, 255); 
   command.FillColor = new RasterColor(0, 0, 0); 
   command.Flags = PlaneCommandFlags.Down | PlaneCommandFlags.Up | PlaneCommandFlags.Color; 
   command.Run(image); 
   codecs.Save(image, Path.Combine(LEAD_VARS.ImagesDir, "Result.jpg"), RasterImageFormat.Jpeg, 24);
