The shade() function is an inbuilt function in the Python Wand ImageMagick library which is used to generates create a 3D effect by simulating a light from an elevated angle.

Syntax:

shade(gray, azimuth, elevation)

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

• gray: This is a boolean parameter which stores the isolation effect. Default is ‘False’.
• azimuth: This parameter stores the angle from x-axis.
• elevation: This parameter stores the amount of angle from the z-axis.

Return Value: This function returns the Wand ImageMagick object.

Example 1:

# Import library from Image  from wand.image import Image    # Import the image with Image(filename ='../geeksforgeeks.png') as image:     # Clone the image in order to process     with image.clone() as shade:         # Invoke shade function         shade.shade(True, 10, 15)         # Save the image         shade.save(filename ='shade1.jpg')

Output:

Example 2:

# Import libraries from the wand   from wand.image import Image from wand.drawing import Drawing from wand.color import Color    with Drawing() as draw:     # Set Stroke color the circle to black     draw.stroke_color = Color('black')     # Set Width of the circlw to 2      draw.stroke_width = 1     # Set the fill color to 'White (# FFFFFF)'     draw.fill_color = Color('white')        # Invoke Circle function with center at 50, 50 and radius 25     draw.circle((200, 200), # Center point                 (100, 100)) # Perimeter point     # Set the font style     draw.font = '../Helvetica.ttf'     # Set the font size      draw.font_size = 30            with Image(width = 400, height = 400, background = Color('# 45ff33')) as pic:         # Set the text and its location         draw.text(int(pic.width / 3), int(pic.height / 2), 'GeeksForGeeks !')         # Draw the picture         draw(pic)         # Invoke shade function method          pic.shade(False, 15, 15)         # Save the image          pic.save(filename ='shade2.jpg')
