Effect With Settings    

This example shows how to perform a simple AutoLevels effect on an image held in an ImageGlue Canvas. To make things a little more complicated we'll adjust the AutoLevels clipping setting before applying the effect.

 

    
Create a Canvas
 
     
     

To start with you need an ImageGlue Canvas. We'll just create one and put a picture of some birds into it.

thePath = Server.MapPath("images/birds.jpg")
Set theCanv = Server.CreateObject("ImageGlue5.Canvas")
theCanv.DrawFile thePath, ""


    
Apply the Effect
 
     
     

Next we apply the AutoLevels effect to the image. The default clip setting for the Effect is 0.5 so we increase it to 5.5 percent.

Set theFX = Server.CreateObject("ImageEffects.FX")
Set theEffect = theFX("AutoLevels")
theEffect.Image = theCanv.Image
theEffect("Clip") = 5.5
theEffect.Apply

 

    
Save the Image
 
     
     

Finally we save the adjusted image.

thePath = Server.MapPath("images/autobirds.jpg")
theCanv.SaveAs thePath, ""
