Main Features and Hints

The widget is a (partial) extension of the TurnImage widget (v135). It adds masking of the images and several transition animations (from one image to a second one). These animations are made with pathes filled with image patterns.
You can add masks generated by polygon points or an SVG path (like the iconPath of a SVG icon widget), especially ovals.
The widget's background can be (rounded) filled and/or stroked.
Both the masks and/or images can be affine transformed (by scale, skew, rotate, translate).
Animations are zoom, barn door horiz/vert, move horiz/vert, squeeze horiz/vert, swipe diag/horiz/vert, turn horiz/vert, rotate.
Note: Animations don't work in pointer mode.
The following messages are passed to LC Script so you can use it:
mouseEnter, mouseLeave, mouseUp and mouseRelease.
After installation of the widget and restarting LiveCode find detailed help in the dictionary.
