This method creates an glass tile effect on a raster image.

[Visual Basic] Public Function GlassTile(xSize As Integer, ySize As Integer) As Boolean
[C#] public bool GlassTile(int xSize, int ySize);

Parameters

xSize
   Sets the width of each glass tile (from 10 to 100)

ySize
   Sets the height of each glass tile (from 10 to 100)

Return Value

Returns True if successful. Returns False if successful.

Explanation

The GlassTile method produces an effect similar to glass tile on the image. To execute the GlassTile method, set the image handle of the image in the Image property or the Layer(LayerNumber).Image property. The GlassTile method supports 8-bit grayscale, 16, 24, and 32 bit images.

Before executing the GlassTile method, you must set the area on the image that will be affected. There are 4 ways to do this.

  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. Select the ellipse by setting the appropriate values for the bounding rectangle in the Rect property

Note: 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.
