skew

I want to skew (correct me if this is not the correct word) a bitmap so that it appears to have depth. A good way to visualize what I am asking for is how the credits of Star Wars are angled to show depth. I have tried the following: canvas.getMatrix().postSkew(kx,ky,px,py); and canvas.skew(sx,sy); But I have not had much success. The above methods seem to always transform the bitmap into a parallelogram. Is there a way to transform the bitmap into a trapezoid instead? Here is a snippet of code that I took from the examples that Romain pointed me to. canvas.rotate(-mOrientation[0] + mHeading,

My problem is whenever I try to compile using Makefile I get the following : make: Warning: File `Board.c' has modification time 1.3e+03 s in the future gcc -Wall -c -Wvla -lm Board.c -o Board.o gcc -Wall -c -Wvla -lm PlayBoard.c -o PlayBoard.o gcc -lm ErrorHandle.o Board.o PlayBoard.o -g -o PlayBoard make: warning: Clock skew detected.

I'm having trouble figuring out how to make the following layout work. I'm not restricted to pure CSS - I know JS will be involved to make it cross-browser - but a CSS solution would be awesome. Here's what I am trying to achieve: I've tried the following code, skewing the container and then skewing the image in the opposite direction, but it just gives me a square image. Chrome inspector shows me that the container is being skewed properly, but skewing the image back makes it square again. Adding an overflow:hidden to the container kind of works but the edges of the angle become jagged. Here

I'm working on number plate recognition. The problem is that I have to de-skew the characters in a binary image to increase the accuracy of template matching. I have done a lot of pre-processing to remove unnecessary pixels of the image and I could segment the characters out. But unfortunately they are skewed. From... converting to greyscale to binary Then.. pre-processing techniques.. After segmentation.. As can be observed in the last image, the characters are skewed and this will lead to inaccuracy for template matching to perform recognition purposes. Most of the researchers are using

I'm trying to skew a div, similar to this: Slant the top of a div using css without skewing text or this: http://tympanus.net/codrops/2011/12/21/slopy-elements-with-css3/ Here's an image of what I'm trying to do: Basically, I need to slant the borders in weird ways on all 4 sides . I can do this with background images, but I'd prefer some way to do this in CSS so the divs can be responsive in width and height. I'd like to find a solution that works on older browsers, but I understand I can't have everything! What would be the best way to have slanted borders on all 4 sides? (Note: the border
