Applies the morphology filter effect.
The MorphologyFX class performs "fattening" or "thinning" of artwork. It is particularly useful for fattening or thinning an alpha channel.
The dilation (or erosion) kernel is a rectangle with a width of 2 * RadiusX and a height of 2 * RadiusY. In dilation, the output pixel is the individual component-wise maximum of the corresponding R,G,B,A values in the input image's kernel rectangle. In erosion, the output pixel is the individual component-wise minimum of the corresponding R,G,B,A values in the input image's kernel rectangle.
Frequently this operation will take place on alpha-only images, such as that produced by the built-in input, SourceAlpha. In that case, the implementation might want to optimize the single channel case.
Because the algorithm operates on premultiplied colour values, it will always result in colour values less than or equal to the alpha channel.
The MorphologyFX class consists of the following fields:
Access | Name | Type | Comment | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Operator | MOP | Set to either ERODE or DILATE. | |||||||
| |||||||||
| RadiusX | INT | X radius value. | |||||||
| RadiusY | INT | Y radius value. | |||||||
| XMLDef | STRING | Returns an SVG compliant XML string that describes the effect. | |||||||
