System.Windows.Media.Effects Namespace

Provides types that can be used to apply visual effects to bitmap images.

Classes

BevelBitmapEffect	Note: This API is now obsolete. The non-obsolete alternative is Effect. Creates a bevel which raises the surface of the image according to a specified curve.
BitmapEffect	Note: This API is now obsolete. The non-obsolete alternative is Effect. Defines a bitmap effect. Derived classes define effects that can be applied to a Visual object, such as a Button or an Image.
BitmapEffectCollection	Note: This API is now obsolete. The non-obsolete alternative is Effect. Represents a collection of BitmapEffect objects. This collection is used as part of a BitmapEffectGroup to apply multiple bitmap effects to visual content.
BitmapEffectGroup	Note: This API is now obsolete. The non-obsolete alternative is Effect. Represents a group of BitmapEffect objects that is used to apply multiple effects to a visible object.
BitmapEffectInput	Note: This API is now obsolete. The non-obsolete alternative is Effect. Applies the BitmapEffect given in the BitmapEffect property to a specified region of the visual object.
BlurBitmapEffect	Note: This API is now obsolete. The non-obsolete alternative is BlurEffect. Simulates looking at an object through an out-of-focus lens.
BlurEffect	A bitmap effect that blurs the target texture.
DropShadowBitmapEffect	Note: This API is now obsolete. The non-obsolete alternative is DropShadowEffect. Applies a shadow behind a visual object at a slight offset. The offset is determined by mimicking a casting shadow from an imaginary light source.
DropShadowEffect	A bitmap effect that paints a drop shadow around the target texture.
Effect	Provides a custom bitmap effect.
EmbossBitmapEffect	Note: This API is now obsolete. The non-obsolete alternative is Effect. Creates a bump mapping of the visual object to give the impression of depth and texture from an artificial light source.
OuterGlowBitmapEffect	Note: This API is now obsolete. The non-obsolete alternative is BlurEffect. Creates a halo of color around objects or areas of color.
PixelShader	Provides a managed wrapper around a High Level Shading Language (HLSL) pixel shader.
ShaderEffect	Provides a custom bitmap effect by using a PixelShader.

Structs

BitmapEffectCollection.Enumerator

Note: This API is now obsolete. The non-obsolete alternative is Effect. Enumerates BitmapEffect objects in a BitmapEffectCollection.

Enums

EdgeProfile	Specifies the type of curve to apply to the edge of a bitmap.
KernelType	Describes the kernel used to create the effect.
RenderingBias	Indicates whether the system renders an effect with emphasis on speed or quality.
SamplingMode	Indicates the way Brush-valued dependency properties are sampled in a custom shader effect.
ShaderRenderMode	Indicates the policy for rendering a ShaderEffect in software.
