Overview
A high-level effect that renders a shadow of the given content behind the content with the specified color, radius, and offset.
the code:
import javafx.scene.*;
import javafx.scene.effect.*;
import javafx.scene.paint.*;
import javafx.scene.shape.*;
import javafx.scene.text.*;
Group {
content: [
Text {
effect: DropShadow { offsetY: 3 color: Color.color(0.4, 0.4, 0.4) };
cache: true
x: 10 y: 70
fill: Color.RED
content: "JavaFX drop shadow..."
font: Font.font(null, FontWeight.BOLD, 32);
},
Circle {
effect: DropShadow { offsetY: 4 }
centerX: 50 centerY: 125
radius: 30
fill: Color.ORANGE
cache: true
}
]
}produces:
Profile: common conditional effect
