<h2><a href="../../api/MagickCore/distort_8c.html" id="DistortImage">DistortImage</a></h2>
<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>
<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>
<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>
<p>The format of the DistortImage() method is:</p>
<pre class="text">
Image *DistortImage(const Image *image,const DistortMethod method,

<dt>method</dt>

<dd> ArcDistortion always ignores source image offset, and always 'bestfit' the destination image with the top left corner offset relative to the polar mapping center. </dd>
<dd> Affine, Perspective, and Bilinear, do least squares fitting of the distrotion when more than the minimum number of control point pairs are provided. </dd>
<dd> 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. </dd>

<dd> 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. </dd>

<h2><a href="../../api/MagickCore/distort_8c.html" id="RotateImage">RotateImage</a></h2>
<p>RotateImage() 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. Empty triangles left over from shearing the image are filled with the background color defined by member 'background_color' of the image. RotateImage allocates the memory necessary for the new Image structure and returns a pointer to the new image.</p>
<p>The format of the RotateImage method is:</p>
<pre class="text">
Image *RotateImage(const Image *image,const double degrees,

</pre>
<p>A description of each parameter follows.</p>

<h2><a href="../../api/MagickCore/distort_8c.html" id="SparseColorImage">SparseColorImage</a></h2>
<p>SparseColorImage(), given a set of coordinates, interpolates the colors found at those coordinates, across the whole image, using various methods.</p>
<p>The format of the SparseColorImage() method is:</p>
<pre class="text">
