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.
