ImageGear for C and C++ on Windows v19.3 - Updated
IG_FX_radial_light
API Reference Guide > Core Component API Reference > Core Component Functions Reference > FX Functions > IG_FX_radial_light

This function changes the colors of an image according to the pattern of a sine wave; the image will appear to have regularly spaced bars of light and shadow overlaid on top of it in a radial pattern.

Declaration:

 
Copy Code
AT_ERRCOUNT ACCUAPI IG_FX_radial_light(
        HIGEAR  hIGear, 
        AT_POINT center, 
        AT_INT  channelCount, 
        AT_FLOAT amplitude[], 
        AT_FLOAT frequency, 
        AT_FLOAT phase, 
        AT_FLOAT attenuation
);

Arguments:

Name Type Description
hIGear HIGEAR Image to which to apply radial light effect.
center AT_POINT Center point in the image (in pixels) about which the effect is applied.
channelCount AT_INT Number of image channels to which to apply the effect.
amplitude AT_FLOAT[ ] Controls the magnitude of color adjustment for each channel of the image. The number of elements of the array is typically set to the number of channels in the image. Each value should range from 0 to 2, although higher values are possible. 0 represents no change in the image color. Higher values represent more intense change. Color changes are clipped, so higher values result in a harder edge to the waveform.
frequency AT_FLOAT Frequency of sine wave. The value should be from 0 to 0.5. The higher the frequency, the more bars will be visible.
phase AT_FLOAT Phase of sine wave. The value should be from 0 to 2*PI (approximately 6.28). As the phase is changed, the alignment of the bars is changed. This can be used to line up the bars with image content or boundaries.
attenuation AT_FLOAT Attenuation of sine wave. The value should be from -0.01 to 0.01. Attenuation adjusts how much the amplitude of the sine wave is decreased or increased as the sine wave proceeds. It can be used to cause the lighting to fade or intensify.

Return Value:

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