### 7.8.6 Effect Filters/Projection

This function allows to map an image onto special 3D objects, so called rotation bodies. A rotation body is defined by its outline. This outline is rotated by a given amount of degrees. The resulting body is the rotation body.

In the subdialog Body you can import a previously created vector graphics, that will be used as outline. Usually this is a simple graphic created with PhotoLine, for example a rectangle or a circle. Rather complex graphics More complex graphics is not well suited for this task. After importing the outline can be scaled and moved.

Angles controls the creation and position of the rotation body. Range defines, whether a full rotation body is created or only a part of it.

The settings in Rotation allow you to rotate the object around the three axis.

Additionally it is possible to turn on lighting by using the switch Lighten. This way light and shadow effects are created. Edit... allows to modify the lighting. The light color, the shadow color and the position of the light source are adjustable.
