BasicImage Transform

Performs several basic image transforms: rotating by 90-degree increments, mirroring, color inverting, producing X-ray effects, producing grayscale effects, and modifying the opacity. These effects apply additively and in the specified order.

Note To use this transform, you need to have Microsoft® DirectX® Media 6, Microsoft Internet Explorer 5, the Microsoft Windows® 98 OEM Service Release (OSR), or Windows 2000 installed.

Transform Properties

The following table lists the transform properties that control the appearance of the output.

Property	Default	Description
Rotation	0	Multiple of 90 degrees. The surface is rotated clockwise by the value of this property multiplied by 90 degrees. The valid range for this property is 0 to 3.
Mirror	FALSE	If TRUE, the transform mirrors the image along the y-axis.
Invert	FALSE	If TRUE, the transform maps to the RGB inverse of the color.
XRay	FALSE	If TRUE, the complement of the red and green average is used as the grayscale.
Grayscale	FALSE	If TRUE, the transform maps the saturation of the color as a grayscale.
Opacity	1.0	Sets the opacity of the image. The valid range for this property is 0.0 (transparent) to 1.0 (opaque).
