[Visual Basic] Public Function Blur(level As Integer) As Boolean
[C#] public bool Blur(int level);

   The strength of the bluring function (From 1 to 20). As the Level increases, the strength of the blur increases.

Explanation

The Blur method blurs a raster image. As the Level parameter increases, the strength of the blur increases. To execute the Blur method, set the image handle of the image in the Image property or the Layer(LayerNumber).Image property. The Blur method supports 8-bit grayscale, 16, 24, and 32 bit images.

  1. To use a mask image, set the SelectMode property to EffectMask. Set the mask image handle in the SourceMask property
  2. To process the total image, set the SelectMode property to EffectAll
  3. To process the polygonal area on the image, set the SelectMode property to EffectPolygon. Set the appropriate values in the Point property
  4. To process an elliptical area on the image, set the SelectMode property to EffectEllipse. Set the appropriate values for the bounding rectangle in the Rect property

When the SelectMode property is set to EffectPolygon or EffectEllipse, the values must be set in the Inside property.

If successful the resulting raster image data is set in the LayerNumber property (the Image property or the Layer(LayerNumber).Image) property.
