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_shear is measured relative to the Y axis, and similarly, for Y direction shears y_shear is measured relative to the X axis. Empty triangles left over from shearing the image are filled with the background color.
Parameters:
background
String or ImagickPixel object representing the background color.
x_shear
The number of degrees to shear on the x axis.
y_shear
The number of degrees to shear on the y axis.
Return Values
Returns TRUE on success.
Example
<?php $image = new Imagick("opossum.jpg"); # change to GIF for transparency $image->setimageformat("gif"); $image->shearImage("transparent", 20,40); header("content-type:image/gif"); echo $image; ?>
