# FlipEffect Class

A class to flip pictures.
This class can flip Horizontally, Vertically and both.
This class supports use of multiple CPU cores on MacOS X, Windows and Linux systems.

class FlipEffect

#### Properties

CPUCoreCount (Inherited) (console safe) | Returns number of detected CPU cores on the running machine.
ErrorCode (Inherited) (console safe) | Returns error code after applying the effect. This value is a Constant defined in the PictureEffectsError module.
MultiprocessingHint (Inherited) (console safe) | Use this property to fine tune CPU usage for this algorithm. By default this property is set to zero (Automatic). This property accepts all constants that are defined in this class.
ProgressHandler (Inherited) (console safe) | Use this property to use a progress class to get progress feedback from this function. This class must be a class that Implements the IProgressHandler Interface which is defined in this plugin.

#### Methods

ApplyBoth | Flips a picture in both directions.
ApplyHorizontal | Flips a picture in horizontal direction.
ApplyInPlaceBoth | Flips a picture in both directions without creating a new image, the result is written into the source image. Very Important read the remarks.
ApplyInPlaceHorizontal | Flips a picture in horizontal direction without creating a new image, the result is written into the source image. Very Important read the remarks.
ApplyInPlaceVertical | Flips a picture in vertical direction without creating a new image, the result is written into the source image. Very Important read the remarks.
ApplyVertical | Flips a picture in vertical direction.

#### Constants

CPU_USE_MACHINE_CORE_COUNT = -1 (Inherited) | Uses exactly the number of available CPU cores in the machine. (Available here means on-line CPU cores, some laptops can put CPU cores off line in low battery situations)
CPU_USE_AUTOMATIC = 0 (Inherited) | Takes into account number of available CPU cores on the Machine and also tries to select the fastest way based on developer rating for each algorithm and picture size. (In simple algorithms then the fastest path is sometimes 2 or 3 CPU cores and not 4 CPU cores because of the overhead of managing multiple cores). In more complex algorithms then 3 or 4 cores are almost always faster than 2 cores.
CPU_USE_1_CORE = 1 (Inherited) | Uses one CPU core.
CPU_USE_2_CORES = 2 (Inherited) | Uses two CPU cores. This setting will also work on machines with less than two CPU cores, but it will be slower or best case same speed as using the correct setting for such machine.
CPU_USE_3_CORES = 3 (Inherited) | Uses three CPU cores. This setting will also work on machines with less than three CPU cores, but it will be slower or best case same speed as using the correct setting for such machine.
CPU_USE_4_CORES = 4 (Inherited) | Uses four CPU cores. This setting will also work on machines with less than four CPU cores, but it will be slower or best case same speed as using the correct setting for such machine.
CPU_USE_5_CORES = 5 (Inherited) | Uses five CPU cores. This setting will also work on machines with less than four CPU cores, but it will be slower or best case same speed as using the correct setting for such machine.
CPU_USE_6_CORES = 6 (Inherited) | Uses six CPU cores. This setting will also work on machines with less than four CPU cores, but it will be slower or best case same speed as using the correct setting for such machine.
CPU_USE_7_CORES = 7 (Inherited) | Uses seven CPU cores. This setting will also work on machines with less than four CPU cores, but it will be slower or best case same speed as using the correct setting for such machine.
CPU_USE_8_CORES = 8 (Inherited) | Uses eight CPU cores. This setting will also work on machines with less than four CPU cores, but it will be slower or best case same speed as using the correct setting for such machine.
