GM16ImageMBS.shear(xShearAngle as Double, yShearAngle as Double)

Type Topic Plugin Version macOS Windows Linux iOS Targets
method GraphicsMagick MBS GraphicsMagick Plugin 14.1 ✅ Yes ✅ Yes ✅ Yes ✅ Yes All

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 degrees is measured relative to the Y axis, and similarly, for Y direction shears y degrees is measured relative to the X axis. Empty triangles left over from shearing the image are filled with the color defined as borderColor.
