PHP | Gmagick shearimage() Function

The Gmagick::shearimage() function is an inbuilt function in PHP which is used to slide one edge of an image along the X or Y axis to create a parallelogram. The X-direction shear slides an edge along the X-axis, while a Y direction shear slides an edge along the Y-axis. The shear angle is used to set shear of the image.

Parameters: This function accepts three parameters as mentioned above and described below: 

• $color: This parameter is used to set the background color.
• $xShear: This parameter is used to set degrees to x-shear of the image.
• $yShear: This parameter is used to set degrees to y-shear of the image.

Return Value: This function returns the Gmagick object on success.
Errors/Exceptions: This function throws GmagickException on error.
