# photobot.Layer.distort()

## Syntax

    canvas.layers[i].distort(x1=0,y1=0, x2=0,y2=0, x3=0,y3=0, x4=0,y4=0)

## Description

Distorts layer i. Distorts the layer by translating the four corners of its bounding box to the given coordinates: upper left (x1,y1), upper right(x2,y2), lower right (x3,y3) and lower left (x4,y4).

## Example

    photobot = ximport("photobot")
    canvas = photobot.canvas(100,100)
    canvas.layer("robot.jpg")
    canvas.layers[1].opacity(60)
    for i in range(10):
      canvas.layers[1].duplicate()
      canvas.layers[2+i].distort(random(-100,100),
                                 random(-100,100),
                                 random(-100,100),
                                 random(-100,100),
                                 random(-100,100),
                                 random(-100,100),
                                 random(-100,100),
                                 random(-100,100))
