Parameters

ParameterTypeRequiredDescription
strTextStringYesText to draw.
nX1NumberYesLeft top horizontal coordinate for the text warp.
nY1NumberYesLeft top vertical coordinate for the text warp.
nX2NumberYesRight top horizontal coordinate for the text warp.
nY2NumberYesRight top vertical coordinate for the text warp.
nX3NumberYesLeft bottom horizontal coordinate for the text warp.
nY3NumberYesLeft bottom vertical coordinate for the text warp.
nX4NumberYesRight bottom horizontal coordinate for the text warp.
nY4NumberYesRight bottom vertical coordinate for the text warp.
nShadowColorNumberNoOptional parameter which specifies the shadow color.
nShadowOpacityNumberNoOptional parameter which specifies the shadow opacity.
nShadowOffsetNumberNoOptional parameter which specifies the shadow distance or offset. If not specified or 0 (zero) an offset is calculated.
strFontFaceStringNoOptional parameter which specifies the font face.
nFontSizeNumberNoOptional parameter which specifies the font size.
nFontColorNumberNoOptional parameter which specifies the font color.
nFontOpacityNumberNoOptional parameter which specifies the font opacity.
bFontBoldState (Enumeration)NoOptional parameter which enables or disables the bold font style.
bFontItalicState (Enumeration)NoOptional parameter which enables or disables the italic font style.
bFontUnderlineState (Enumeration)NoOptional parameter which enables or disables the underline font style.
bFontStrikeoutState (Enumeration)NoOptional parameter which enables or disables the strikeout font style.
bFontAntiAliasingState (Enumeration)NoOptional parameter which enables or disables the font anti-aliasing.
nFontAlignmentAlignment (Enumeration)NoOptional parameter which specifies the alignment of the text.
nFontRotationNumberNoOptional parameter which specifies the rotation angle of the text in degrees.
nFontShearXNumberNoOptional parameter which specifies the horizontal shear percentage of the text.
nFontShearYNumberNoOptional 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");
