This class enables you to apply water drop effect (ripples on the water).

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

Syntax

Visual Basic

Public NotInheritable Class WaterDrop _
	Inherits BitmapTransform

C#

public sealed class WaterDrop : BitmapTransform

Remarks

To produce effect of the ripples on the water, you can specify such parameters as a Center point ("epicenter" of ripples), ripple Amplitude, Radius, and Wavelength.

Essential parameter of all the geometric Transforms (including water drop transform) is an interpolation algorithm. It specifies how to calculate intermediate points. Different algorithms produces different quality, but as usual the higher quality it produces, the slower algorithm works. You can select interpolation algorithm with InterpolationMode property.

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

Thread Safety

Static members of this type are safe for multi-threaded operations. Instance members of this type are safe for multi-threaded operations.
