Parameters

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
strText	String	Yes	Text to draw.
nX1	Number	Yes	Left top horizontal coordinate for the text warp.
nY1	Number	Yes	Left top vertical coordinate for the text warp.
nX2	Number	Yes	Right top horizontal coordinate for the text warp.
nY2	Number	Yes	Right top vertical coordinate for the text warp.
nX3	Number	Yes	Left bottom horizontal coordinate for the text warp.
nY3	Number	Yes	Left bottom vertical coordinate for the text warp.
nX4	Number	Yes	Right bottom horizontal coordinate for the text warp.
nY4	Number	Yes	Right bottom vertical coordinate for the text warp.
nShadowColor	Number	No	Optional parameter which specifies the shadow color.
nShadowOpacity	Number	No	Optional parameter which specifies the shadow opacity.
nShadowOffset	Number	No	Optional parameter which specifies the shadow distance or offset. If not specified or 0 (zero) an offset is calculated.
strFontFace	String	No	Optional parameter which specifies the font face.
nFontSize	Number	No	Optional parameter which specifies the font size.
nFontColor	Number	No	Optional parameter which specifies the font color.
nFontOpacity	Number	No	Optional parameter which specifies the font opacity.
bFontBold	State (Enumeration)	No	Optional parameter which enables or disables the bold font style.
bFontItalic	State (Enumeration)	No	Optional parameter which enables or disables the italic font style.
bFontUnderline	State (Enumeration)	No	Optional parameter which enables or disables the underline font style.
bFontStrikeout	State (Enumeration)	No	Optional parameter which enables or disables the strikeout font style.
bFontAntiAliasing	State (Enumeration)	No	Optional parameter which enables or disables the font anti-aliasing.
nFontAlignment	Alignment (Enumeration)	No	Optional parameter which specifies the alignment of the text.
nFontRotation	Number	No	Optional parameter which specifies the rotation angle of the text in degrees.
nFontShearX	Number	No	Optional parameter which specifies the horizontal shear percentage of the text.
nFontShearY	Number	No	Optional parameter which specifies the vertical shear percentage of the text.

Example

The example below shows how to use the method. If you take a look at the example code, assume there is a reference to the Marblecore Imaging object with the name 'MarblecoreImaging'. Transparent parts of the image are displayed using a checkerboard pattern.

1 // Creates a new transparent image
2 MarblecoreImaging.Create(150, 150, true);
3 
4 // Execute the operation
5 MarblecoreImaging.DrawTextWithShadowUsingWarp("Demo", 25, 25, 130, 40, 15, 100, 110, 100, 0, 75, 8);
6 
7 // Save the modified image to the specified file
8 MarblecoreImaging.SaveToFile("example-drawtextwithshadowusingwarp.jpg");
