Imagick::shearImage

Creating a parallelogram

&reftitle.description; public `bool` `Imagick::shearImage` `mixed` `background` `float` `x_shear` `float` `y_shear`

Slides one edge of an image along the X or Y axis, creating a parallelogram. An X direction shear slides an edge along the X axis, while a Y direction shear slides an edge along the Y axis. The amount of the shear is controlled by a shear angle. For X direction shears, x_shear is measured relative to the Y axis, and similarly, for Y direction shears y_shear is measured relative to the X axis. Empty triangles left over from shearing the image are filled with the background color.

&reftitle.parameters;

`background`

- The background color

`x_shear`

- The number of degrees to shear on the x axis

`y_shear`

- The number of degrees to shear on the y axis

&reftitle.returnvalues;

&imagick.return.success;

&reftitle.changelog;

&Version; | &Description;
PECL imagick 2.1.0 | Now allows a string representing the color as the first parameter. Previous versions allow only an ImagickPixel object.
