182<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>
183
184<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>
185
186<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>

200
201<h5>method</h5>
202<ol><p>the method of image distortion.</p></ol>
203
204<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>
205
206<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>
207
208<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>

224<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>
225
226<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>
227
228<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>
