2D Mirror Effect
Description
This chapter briefly describes how to use the 2D mirror effect.

Ensure that this effect is supported by the device platform in use.
Configure a 2D Mirror Effect
Mirror Effect
By using Candera::MirrorBitmapBrushBlend, a mirror reflection can be applied to a bitmap node.
Following properties of a mirror effect can be configured:
- Mirror Axis Modifications
- Alpha Value
Following is an example of a mirror effect with a diagonal mirror axis and an alpha value of 1.0f:
Refer to SceneComposer User Manual about how to configure a MirrorBitmapBrushBlend effect in a 2D scene.

Set Mirror Axis
To set the Mirror Axis you need to set two vectors.
- The first vector defines the start point of the mirror axis (the startpoint's X and Y value),
- and the second vector defines the end of the axis.
The following example shows how to implement a mirror axis from the startpoint (0, 400) to the endpoint (700, 400).
Float fromX = 0.0f; Float fromY = 400.0f; Float toX = 700.0f; Float toY = 400.0f; mirror->MirrorAxisFrom().Set(Vector2(fromX, fromY)); mirror->MirrorAxisTo().Set(Vector2(toX, toY));
Set Mirror Alpha Value
It is possible to set the mirrors alpha value, so that the mirror looks more or less intensive.
Float mirrorAlpha = 0.7f; mirror->Alpha()= mirrorAlpha;
