Stroke.Shear Method

Stroke.Shear Method

Shears the Stroke object by the specified horizontal and vertical factors.

Definition

Visual Basic .NET Public Sub Shear( _
ByVal shearX As Single, _
ByVal shearY As Single _
)
C# public void Shear(
float shearX,
float shearY
);
Managed C++ public: void Shear(
float *shearX,
float *shearY
);

Parameters

shearX System.Single. The horizontal factor of the shear.
shearY System.Single. The vertical factor of the shear.

Remarks

The transformation applied in this method is a pure shear only if one of the parameters is 0. Applied to a rectangle at the origin, when the shearY factor is 0, the transformation moves the bottom edge horizontally by shearX times the height of the rectangle. When the shearX factor is 0, it moves the right edge vertically by shearY times the width of the rectangle.

Note: When both parameters are nonzero, the results may not be intuitive.

This method throws an exception if the shear is non-invertible. The shear is non-invertible if the product of the shearX and shearY parameters equals 1.

Examples

[C#]

This C# example applies a horizontal shear of 0.5 to the Stroke object, theStroke.

theStroke.Shear(0.5f, 0);
                

[VB.NET]

This Microsoft® Visual Basic® .NET example applies a horizontal shear of 0.5 to the Stroke object, theStroke.

theStroke.Shear(0.5f, 0)
