AT_ERRCOUNT ACCUAPI IG_FX_ripple_freehand(
        HIGEAR hIGear,
        AT_FLOAT depth, 
        AT_FLOAT xDistribution[],

Arguments:

Name	Type	Description
hIGear	HIGEAR	Image to which to apply the effect.
depth	AT_FLOAT	Strength of the ripple effect.
xDistribution	AT_FLOAT[ ]	Array of points containing relative light deviations along the X axis in each cell. Each value typically ranges from -1 to 1. The number of points is flexible and should be chosen based on the period length relative to the image size and desired resolution of the effect.
xPointCount	AT_INT	Length of the xDistribution array.
yDistribution	AT_FLOAT[ ]	Array of points containing relative light deviations along the Y axis in each cell. Each value typically ranges from -1 to 1. The number of points is flexible and should be chosen based on the period length relative to the image size and desired resolution of the effect.
yPointCount	AT_INT	Length of the xDistribution array.
xPeriod	AT_INT	Horizontal period of the repeating pattern. It corresponds to number of points from the xDistribution array that should be used in the transform, and does not have to be equal to the length of the array.
xPhase	AT_INT	Index of the first point in the xDistribution array to be used in the transform.
yPeriod	AT_INT	Vertical period of the repeating pattern. It corresponds to number of points from the yDistribution array, that should be used in the transform, and does not have to be equal to the length of the array.
yPhase	AT_INT	Index of the first point in the yDistribution array to be used in the transform.
smoothness	AT_FLOAT	Specifies how much the ripple pattern should be smoothed before applying.
angle	AT_FLOAT	Specifies the angle for the ripple pattern, in degrees. Valid range is from 0 to 360.

Return Value:

Returns the number of ImageGear errors that occurred during this function call.

Supported Raster Image Formats:

All pixel formats supported by ImageGear Professional.

Remarks:

The function uses a custom ripple pattern, defined as two one-dimensional arrays containing light deviations in X and Y directions.
