Shadow
In this chapter you will learn:
Using Shadows
There are four drawing state properties associated with adding shadows to the shapes and text.
| Name | Description | Returns |
|---|---|---|
| shadowBlur | Sets the degree of blur in the shadow | number |
| shadowColor | Sets the color of the shadow | string |
| shadowOffsetX | Sets the x-offset for the shadow | number |
| shadowOffsetY | Sets the y-offset for the shadow | number |
The following code sets shadow color and blur.
