Cylindrize Class

This class enables you to apply cylindrize transform. Image will be looking like bended on cylinder.

Namespace: Aurigma.GraphicsMill.Transforms
Assembly: Aurigma.GraphicsMill (in Aurigma.GraphicsMill.dll)

Syntax

Visual Basic 
Public NotInheritable Class Cylindrize _
	Inherits BitmapTransform
C# 
public sealed class Cylindrize : BitmapTransform

Remarks

This class is useful if you need to emulate the image to be bended on the cylinder surface, for example, mug. In this case the following sequence is used:
  1. Resize bitmap to fit it to cylinder parameters.
  2. Use Cylindrize transform to distort image.
  3. Combine distorted bitmap and mug image using Combiner class, Draw(Bitmap, Rectangle, Rectangle, CombineMode, Single, InterpolationMode) method, or any other way.

You can specify a number of cylinder parameters - height (CylinderHeight property), half-perimeter (CylinderHalfPerimeter property), color (CylinderColor property). You also can specify position of the image relatively top left corner of the "face" part of cylinder (HorizontalOffset and VerticalOffset properties). If the cylinder (e.g. mug) is tilted, you can take it into account with SlopeAngle property. And of course like for any other geometry bitmap transform, you can specify interpolation algorithm (InterpolationMode property) and background color (BackgroundColor property).

All the coordinates and sizes are measured in units specified with Unit property.
