UseSkewing Property

Returns/sets whether SkewAngleXEffectStops, SkewAngleYEffectStops, SkewAngleXEffectStopDirection and SkewAngleYEffectStopDirection should be honored and skewing effects applied to items in the Carousel. The default is False.
Syntax
'Declaration
 
Public Property UseSkewing As Boolean
public bool UseSkewing {get; set;}
Remarks

When this property is set to false, any SkewAngleXEffectStops or SkewAngleYEffectStops that may be defined are ignored.

Note: The PathItemTransitionStyle property can be used to apply additional effects to items as they transition into and out of view through the prefix and suffix areas of the ItemPath.

Example
In the following example, the ability to control the horizontal skew has been used to ensure that items along the edge of the triagular path are skewed along the edge of the path. The skewing is enabled by setting the UseSkewing to true and then providing SkewAngleXEffectStop values for the SkewAngleXEffectStops property. Since the SkewAngleXEffectStops is set to UseItemPath, the Offsets are based upon the position of the items along the path. As such, an Offset of 0.5 is half way along the path provided.
