SHADOW

Creates a shadow under the associated 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.

color

color
Type
GraphicColor / stdWrap

The color of the shadow.

intensity

intensity
Type
integer (1-100) / stdWrap

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

offset

offset
Type
x,y / stdWrap

The offset of the shadow.

opacity

opacity
Type
integer (1-100) / stdWrap

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

Only active with a value for blur.

textObjNum

textObjNum
Type
positive integer / stdWrap

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

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