# glideReflectedTile()

Tiles an image by rotating and reflecting a tile from the image.

```
class func glideReflectedTile() -> any CIFilter & CIGlideReflectedTile
```

## Return Value

The tiled image.

## Discussion

This method applies the glide reflected tile filter to an image. The effect produces a tiled image by rotating and reflecting a tile from the input image.

The glide reflected tile filter uses the following properties:

- `inputImage`: An image with the type [`CIImage`](/documentation/CoreImage/CIImage).
- `center`: A set of coordinates marking the center of the image as a <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/CoreFoundation/CGPoint>.
- `angle`: A `float` representing the direction of distortion, in radians as an <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Foundation/NSNumber>.
- `width`: A `float` representing the set width of each tile as an <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Foundation/NSNumber>.

The following code creates a filter that results in flipping the image and then tiling the result:

```swift
func glideReflected(inputImage: CIImage) -> CIImage {
    let glideReflectedTile = CIFilter.glideReflectedTile()
    glideReflectedTile.inputImage = inputImage
    glideReflectedTile.center = CGPoint(x: 150, y: 150)
    glideReflectedTile.angle = 10
    glideReflectedTile.width = 10
    return glideReflectedTile.outputImage!
}
```

In the photo on the right, a glide reflected tile filter is applied, resulting in a portion of the image containing purple, white and pink petals becoming tiled with every other tile reflected.](images/com.apple.coreimage/media-3599883@2x.png)
