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:

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 ~~endpint~~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;
