-    <dl>
-      <dt>x, y</dt>
-      <dd>The offset of the view from the top-left corner of the

-    <h4>Returns</h4>
-    <p>If the optional code block is present, <code>view</code>
-    returns <code>nil</code>. If it is not present,
-    <code>view</code> returns an <code>Image::View</code>
-    object.</p>

-    <h4>Notes</h4>
-    <p>The <code>view</code> method introduces a relatively high
-    level of overhead to pixel manipulation compared to methods
-    that use the ImageMagick API to identify and change pixels. I
-    recommend that you use <code>view</code> only when the number
-    of pixels identified in the view is fairly small (a few
-    thousand to a few hundred thousand, depending on your patience
-    and the speed of your computer) and you need this degree of
-    control.</p>

-    reflection. The reflection is an inverted copy of the image
-    that changes from partially transparent to entirely

-    <dl>
-      <dt>initial</dt>
-      <dd>A value between 0.0 and 1.0 that specifies the initial
-      percentage of transparency. Higher values cause the top of
-      the reflection to be more transparent, lower values less
-      transparent. The default is 0.5, which means that the top of
-      the reflection is 50% transparent.</dd>
-      <dt>rate</dt>
-      <dd>A non-negative value that specifies how rapidly the
-      reflection transitions from the initial level of transparency
-      to entirely transparent. The default value is 1.0, which
-      means that the transition occurs in 1/3 the image height.
-      Values greater than 1.0 speed up the transition (the
-      reflection will have fewer rows), values lower than 1.0 slow
-      down the transition (the reflection will have more rows). A
