18 <meta name="Description" content="ImageMagick® is a software suite to create, edit, and compose bitmap images. It can read, convert and write images in a variety of formats (about 100) including GIF, JPEG, JPEG-2000, PNG, PDF, PhotoCD, TIFF, and DPX. Use ImageMagick to translate, flip, mirror, rotate, scale, shear and transform images, adjust image colors, apply various special effects, or draw text, lines, polygons, ellipses and Bézier curves. ImageMagick is free software delivered as a ready-to-run binary distribution or as source code that you can freely use, copy, modify, and distribute. Its license is compatible with the GPL. It runs on all major operating systems. The functionality of ImageMagick is typically utilized from the command line or you can use the features from programs written in your favorite programming language. Choose from these interfaces: MagickCore (C), MagickWand (C), ChMagick (Ch), Magick++ (C++), JMagick (Java), L-Magick (Lisp), PascalMagick (Pascal), PerlMagick (Perl), MagickWand for PHP (PHP), PythonMagick (Python), RMagick (Ruby), or TclMagick (Tcl/TK). With a language interface, use ImageMagick to modify or create images automagically and dynamically."/>

157
158<p>DistortImage() distorts an image using various distortion methods, by mapping color lookups of the source image to a new destination image usally of the same size as the source image, unless 'bestfit' is set to true.</p></ol>
159
160<p>If 'bestfit' is enabled, and distortion allows it, the destination image is adjusted to ensure the whole source 'image' will just fit within the final destination image, which will be sized and offset accordingly. Also in many cases the virtual offset of the source image will be taken into account in the mapping.</p></ol>
161
162<p>If the '-verbose' control option has been set print to standard error the equicelent '-fx' formula with coefficients for the function, if practical.</p></ol>
163
164<p>The format of the DistortImage() method is:</p>
165
166<pre class="code">
167 Image *DistortImage(const Image *image,const DistortImageMethod method,
168 const unsigned long number_arguments,const double *arguments,
169 MagickBooleanType bestfit, ExceptionInfo *exception)
170</pre>
171
172<p>A description of each parameter follows:</p></ol>
173
174<h5>image</h5>
175<ol><p>the image to be distorted.</p></ol>
176
177<h5>method</h5>
178<ol><p>the method of image distortion.</p></ol>
179
180<p>ArcDistortion always ignores source image offset, and always 'bestfit' the destination image with the top left corner offset relative to the polar mapping center.</p></ol>
181
182<p>Affine, Perspective, and Bilinear, do least squares fitting of the distrotion when more than the minimum number of control point pairs are provided.</p></ol>
183
184<p>Perspective, and Bilinear, fall back to a Affine distortion when less than 4 control point pairs are provided. While Affine distortions let you use any number of control point pairs, that is Zero pairs is a No-Op (viewport only) distortion, one pair is a translation and two pairs of control points do a scale-rotate-translate, without any shearing.</p></ol>
185
186<h5>number_arguments</h5>
187<ol><p>the number of arguments given.</p></ol>
188
189<h5>arguments</h5>
190<ol><p>an array of floating point arguments for this method.</p></ol>
191
192<h5>bestfit</h5>
193<ol><p>Attempt to 'bestfit' the size of the resulting image. This also forces the resulting image to be a 'layered' virtual canvas image. Can be overridden using 'distort:viewport' setting.</p></ol>
194
195<h5>exception</h5>
196<ol><p>return any errors or warnings in this structure</p></ol>
197
198<p>Extra Controls from Image meta-data (artifacts)...</p></ol>
199
200<p>o "verbose" Output to stderr alternatives, internal coefficents, and FX equivelents for the distortion operation (if feasible). This forms an extra check of the distortion method, and allows users access to the internal constants IM calculates for the distortion.</p></ol>
201
202<p>o "distort:viewport" Directly set the output image canvas area and offest to use for the resulting image, rather than use the original images canvas, or a calculated 'bestfit' canvas.</p></ol>
203
204<p>o "distort:scale" Scale the size of the output canvas by this amount to provide a method of Zooming, and for super-sampling the results.</p></ol>
205
206<p>Other settings that can effect results include</p></ol>
207
208<p>o 'interpolate' For source image lookups (scale enlargements)</p></ol>
209
210<p>o 'filter' Set filter to use for area-resampling (scale shrinking). Set to 'point' to turn off and use 'interpolate' lookup instead</p></ol>
