shade() function generates a 3d kind of image or creates a 3d effect by simulating a light from an elevated angle. azimuth parameter is used to control the X and Y angle and elevation parameter is used to control the z angle of the image. We can also get final image in grayscale by putting gray parameter as true.
Syntax :
wand.image.shade(gray, azimuth, elevation);Parameters :
Parameter Input Type Description gray boolean Isolate the effect on pixel intensity. Default is False. azimuth numbers.real Angle from x-axis. elevation number.Real Amount of pixels from the z-axis.

Example 1:
Python3
# import Image from wand.image modulefrom wand.image import Image# Read image using Image functionwith Image(filename ="koala.jpeg") as img: # generating shaded image using shade() function. img.shade(gray = True, azimuth = 286.0, elevation = 45.0) img.save(filename ="shadekoala.jpeg") |
Output:
Example 2: setting gray as False, increasing azimuth and elevation value.
Python3
# import Image from wand.image modulefrom wand.image import Imagewith Image(filename ="koala.jpeg") as img: # generating shaded image using shade() function. img.shade(gray = True, azimuth = 298.0, elevation = 70.0) img.save(filename ="shadekoala_2.jpeg") |
Output:
