TextureAlphaBlendCommand Class

Summary

Combines image data from two images with feathering and constant opacity; by combining the two images with a variable opacity that depends on a fade mask then combine the result with the destination image with a constant opacity.

Syntax

C++/CLI

Python

public class TextureAlphaBlendCommand : RasterCommand

public ref class TextureAlphaBlendCommand : public RasterCommand

class TextureAlphaBlendCommand(RasterCommand):

Remarks

To combine two images with a fixed opacity, use the AlphaBlendCommand.
To combine two images with a feather, use the FeatherAlphaBlendCommand.
The TextureAlphaBlendCommand does the two operations; first it combines the two images with feathering using the fade mask image, then combines the result with the destination image with a fixed opacity.
To create an image that contains a fade mask, use FadedMaskCommand.
This command can also underlay the fade mask image with the underlay image before using it in the feather combine operation.
This command also combines the fade mask image with the underlay image so that it appears to be an underlying texture for the fade mask image.
The following is an example for the resulted image using this commands with the following characteristics:
- The source image is a red image.
- The destination image is a white image.
- The opacity is set to 255.
- The left image is the result of applying the method without texture image.
- The right image is the result of applying the method with texture 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 TextureAlphaBlendCommand on an image.

using Leadtools; 
using Leadtools.Codecs; 
using Leadtools.ImageProcessing.Effects; 
 
 
public void TextureAlphaBlendCommandExample() 
{ 
   // Load an image 
   RasterCodecs codecs = new RasterCodecs(); 
   codecs.ThrowExceptionsOnInvalidImages = true; 
 
   RasterImage image = codecs.Load(Path.Combine(LEAD_VARS.ImagesDir, "Master.jpg")); 
 
   // Prepare the command 
   RasterImage SrcImage; 
   RasterImage MaskImage; 
   RasterImage underlayImage; 
 
   SrcImage = codecs.Load(Path.Combine(LEAD_VARS.ImagesDir, @"ImageProcessingDemo\Image3.cmp"), 4, CodecsLoadByteOrder.Bgr, 1, 1); 
   //Load the fade mask image. 
   MaskImage = codecs.Load(Path.Combine(LEAD_VARS.ImagesDir, @"ImageProcessingDemo\FadeMask.bmp"), 4, CodecsLoadByteOrder.Bgr, 1, 1); 
 
   underlayImage = codecs.Load(Path.Combine(LEAD_VARS.ImagesDir, "cannon.jpg"), 4, CodecsLoadByteOrder.Bgr, 1, 1); 
 
   TextureAlphaBlendCommand command = new TextureAlphaBlendCommand(); 
   command.DestinationRectangle = new LeadRect(image.Width / 2 - MaskImage.Width / 2, image.Height / 2 - MaskImage.Height / 2, MaskImage.Width, MaskImage.Height); 
   command.MaskImage = MaskImage; 
   command.Opacity = 100; 
   command.SourceImage = SrcImage; 
   command.SourcePoint = new LeadPoint(0, 0); 
   command.UnderlayImage = underlayImage; 
   // Combine ImageSource with the affected image, with MaskImage and a 100 opacity. 
   command.Run(image); 
   codecs.Save(image, Path.Combine(LEAD_VARS.ImagesDir, "Result.jpg"), RasterImageFormat.Jpeg, 24);
