Shadow
Note: the detailed setting possibilities are NOT
available in the smaller Heroglyph "RAPID" Version
This is where the shadow settings for all types of objects are realized. A graphic or text can be
allocated a shadow effect with
different setting options.
Generally the following applies:
• An object, which is to be applied a shadow, must be selected. This relates to
individual, selected characters or the entire object.
• A semi-
transparent object makes the underlying object shadow visible. This may
result in the brightness or the color of the character surface being affected by
the shadow that is thrown.
• A transparent object may (in contrast to what should really happen) throw a
shadow. This allows more creative designing.
• If you only want to create a shadow effect on a contour, select the option
"Outline" under Shape. The existing glyphs' (characters) borders are then also
the basis for the shadow rendering.
• A shadow can also be created by using an alpha channel in the character
surface. If this alpha channel is animated, movement is applied to the shadow
effect as well.
The Parameters

These offer the convenient defaults for common settings for shadow effects.
