63<p>DeskewImage() removes skew from the image. Skew is an artifact that occurs in scanned images because of the camera being misaligned, imperfections in the scanning or surface, or simply because the paper was not placed completely flat when scanned.</p>
64
65<p>The result will be auto-croped if the artifact "deskew:auto-crop" is defined, while the amount the image is to be deskewed, in degrees is also saved as the artifact "deskew:angle".</p>
66
67<p>If the artifact "deskew:auto-crop" is given the image will be automatically cropped of the excess background. The value is the border width of all pixels around the edge that will be used to determine an average border color for the automatic trim.</p>

117<p>ShearImage() creates a new image that is a shear_image copy of an existing one. Shearing 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 defined by member 'background_color' of the image.. ShearImage() allocates the memory necessary for the new Image structure and returns a pointer to the new image.</p>

141<p>ShearRotateImage() creates a new image that is a rotated copy of an existing one. Positive angles rotate counter-clockwise (right-hand rule), while negative angles rotate clockwise. Rotated images are usually larger than the originals and have 'empty' triangular corners. X axis.
