ShadowBrush.BlurAmount

BlurAmount As Double

The sharpness of the edge of the shadow.

This property is read-only.

The higher the number, the less sharp the edge of the shadow will be. The default value is 3.

Higher numbers may result in lower performance.

ShadowBrush.Offset

Offset As Point

The amount the shadow will be offset from the original graphic being drawn.

This property is read-only.

Offsets can be negative, allowing you to move the virtual light source from upper-left to other locations.

ShadowBrush.ShadowColor

ShadowColor As Color

The color to be used when drawing the shadow.

This property is read-only.

ShadowBrush.Constructor

Constructor(offsetX As Integer = 10, offsetY As Integer = 10, shadow As Color = &c000000, blur As Double = 3.0)

Note

Constructors are special methods called when you create an object with the New keyword and pass in the parameters above.

Creates a new ShadowBrush with the parameters passed.

This example draws a rectangle with a shadow in the Paint event of a Canvas:

g.ShadowBrush = New ShadowBrush
g.DrawingColor = Color.Red
g.FillRectangle(0, 0, 100, 100)
