Method Detail

setMatte

void setMatte(Matte matte)
              throws MatteException

Adds an Matte to the component implementing this interface in order to enable matte compositing. If there is already a Matte assigned to the component, and this Matte is animated, it has to be stopped before any call to this method.

Parameters:

matte - the Matte to be assigned to the component. At any point of time there can only be one matte associated to the component, that's way any matte that has been associated before will be overriden by a call to this method. The Matte parameter can also be null, in this case there is no matte associated with the component after the call, even if there had been one before.

Throws:

MatteException - if the Matte has an unsupported type, the platform does not support mattes at all, or an animated matte is associated with the component and is still running
