TImageEnView.RunTransition

Declaration

// Regular transition overloads
procedure RunTransition(Effect: TIETransitionType; Duration: integer = -1); overload;

// Pan-Zoom transition overloads
procedure RunTransition(PanZoomEffect: TIEPanZoomType; EffectZoom: Integer = 20; Duration: integer = -1; Smoothing: Integer = 96); overload;
procedure RunTransition(StartRect, EndRect: TRect; MaintainAspectRatio: Boolean = True; Duration: integer = -1; Smoothing: Integer = 96); overload;

// Full overloads
procedure RunTransition(Effect: TIETransitionType; Duration: integer; PanZoomEffect: TIEPanZoomType; EffectZoom: Integer; Smoothing: Integer = 96); overload;
procedure RunTransition(Effect: TIETransitionType; Duration: integer; StartRect, EndRect: TRect; MaintainAspectRatio: Boolean; Smoothing: Integer = 96); overload;

Description

RunTransition starts the transition using Effect and Duration parameters.
Effect specifies the effect. Duration specifies the display time of the transition in milliseconds (if -1 is specifed the default duration is used).

If effect is iettPanZoom then use one of the overloaded versions:

Pan-Zoom Overload 1:

Value	Description
PanZoomEffect	One of ImageEn's built-in Pan-Zoom effects
EffectZoom	If the specified PanZoomEffect is a "Zoom" type, then this specifies the maximum amount to zoom in, e.g. 20%
Smoothing	In order to reduce the "jumpiness" of pan-zoom effects, transition frames are alpha blended. A low value will improve smoothness, but increase blurriness. A high value will improve clarity, but increase jumpiness. Typical range is 64 - 196. 255 means no alpha blending

Pan-Zoom Overload 2:

Value	Description
StartRect	The starting rectangle of an iettPanZoom transition (specified in bitmap points)
EndRect	The ending rectangle of an iettPanZoom transition (specified in bitmap points)
MaintainAspectRatio	StartRect and EndRect will be automatically adjusted to ensure the image appears with the correct aspect ratio
Smoothing	In order to reduce the "jumpiness" of pan-zoom effects, transition frames are alpha blended. A low value will improve smoothness, but increase blurriness. A high value will improve clarity, but increase jumpiness. Typical range is 64 - 196. 255 means no alpha blending

Note:
- An easier way to use display transition is just to set TransitionEffect
- If the transition effect is not a Pan-Zoom (iettPanZoom) transition, then you must call PrepareTransition() before calling RunTransition()

Examples

// Transition from Image1.jpg to Image2.jpg with "Random Points" transition
ImageEnView1.IO.LoadFromFile('D:\image1.jpg');         // Load initial image
ImageEnView1.PrepareTransition();                      // Prepare the transition
ImageEnView1.IO.LoadFromFile('D:\image2.jpg');         // Load the next image (but does not display it)
ImageEnView1.RunTransition(iettRandompoints, 500);     // Execute the transition
                                                  // Automatically adjust starting and ending rect to ensure the transition does not distort the image

// Pan from the top-left corner of the image to the bottom-right
ImageEnView1.IO.LoadFromFile('D:\image.jpg');
ImageEnView1.RunTransition(iepzPanTopLeftToBottomRight,
                           20,                         // 20% zoom effect
                           2000);                      // 2 second transition

// Pan from the top-left corner of the image to the bottom-right (Image is 600 x 800)
ImageEnView1.IO.LoadFromFile('D:\image.jpg');
ImageEnView1.RunTransition(Rect(0, 0, 300, 400),       // Top-left quarter
                           Rect(300, 400, 600, 800),   // Bottom-right quarter
                           True,
                           2000);                      // 2 second transition

// Set properties for Word transition
ImageEnView1.TransitionParams.WordTransWord      := 'BLAM';
ImageEnView1.TransitionParams.WordTransFontName := 'Arial';
ImageEnView1.TransitionParams.WordTransFontStyle := [fsBold];

// Prepare ImageEnView1 for a transition (e.g. so loading the image will not immediately update the display)
ImageEnView1.PrepareTransition();

// Load the next image
ImageEnView1.IO.LoadFromFile( GetNextImage() );

// Run the transition
ImageEnView1.RunTransition( iettRandomBoxesWithWord, 1000 );
