EMBOSS

The EMBOSS object uses two shadow offsets in opposite directions and with different colors to create an effect of light cast onto an embossed text.

Properties

blur

blur

Type: integer (1-99) / stdWrap

Blurring of the shadow. Above 40 only values of 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90 are relevant.

highColor

highColor

Type: GraphicColor / stdWrap

Upper border color.

intensity

intensity

Type: integer (0-100) / stdWrap

How "massive" the emboss is. This value can - if it has a high value combined with a blurred shadow - create a kind of soft-edged outline.

lowColor

lowColor

Type: GraphicColor / stdWrap

Lower border color.

opacity

opacity

Type: integer (1-100) / stdWrap

The degree to which the shadow conceals the background. Mathematically speaking: Opacity = Transparency^-1. For example, 100% opacity = 0% transparency.

Only active with a value for blur.

offset

offset

Type: x,y / stdWrap

Offset of the emboss.

textObjNum

textObjNum

Type: positive integer / stdWrap

Must point to the TEXT object, if these EMBOSS properties are not properties to a TEXT object directly ("stand-alone emboss"). Then the emboss needs to know which TEXT object it should be an emboss of!

If - on the other hand - the EMBOSS object is a property to a TEXT object, this property is not needed.
