Shadow Color
The Shadow Color of a selected figure can be changed to meet a desired preference. It can be altered for a selected figure(s) or in instances where no figures have been selected. If a figure has not been selected, the color change applies to any figure added after the change.
To alter the shadow color, complete the following steps:
Step 1: Press on the Info Button in the Top Toolbar.
Step 2: Tap on the Shadow and Opacity Tab to open the following popover window.
Note: The Shadow Visibility option must be enabled for a color change to appear within the Drawing Canvas.
Step 3: Changes made to this attribute are only reflected on current or new figures within the Drawing Canvas when the Shadow Visibility option has been enabled.
To enable/disable this option, perform a Touch/Drag gesture combination or simply Tap on the On/Off toggle slider. It will appear blue when enabled.
Step 4: Then Press on the Shadow Color attribute in the Shadow and Opacity Tab.
Step 5: To select a pre-defined color in the Color Square, simply press on the desired color.
Step 6: You may also configure a color by choosing an option from the Color Selection Menu: Color Wheel, RGB, HSV, Gray Scale, Named Colors, Favorite Colors, or Colors in Use. To do so, press on the menu and then tap on an option.
Step 7: If using the Color Wheel, first tap on the desired color range within the outside of the wheel view. Then choose the desired lightness or darkness of the selected color in the center (saturation) square.
Step 8: Perform a Touch/Drag gesture combination on the Opacity Slider to change the degree to which the shadow can be seen through. Then tap anywhere within the Drawing Canvas to close the window.
A color change will be seen instantaneously when a figure is selected. If no figures have been selected, the color change will apply to all subsequently created figures.
The following examples show a square prior to adding a shadow and after the color has been altered.
X and Y Offset Attributes
The X Offset and Y Offset attributes set the offset of the shadow in the X axis and Y axis. Type a value in the text field or use the “+” or “-“ buttons to alter the shadow offset for a figure(s). In the example below, the X and Y Offset has been changed to 10 points.
Blur Attribute
The Blur attribute sets the amount of blur applied to the shadow. Type in a number in the text field or use the “+” or “-“ buttons to alter the Blur value for the shadow. In the example below, the Blur value has been changed to 20 points.
Opacity Attribute
Use the Opacity slider, text field, or “+” and “-“ buttons to alter the opaqueness (opposite of transparency) of a selected color. In the example below, the Opacity has been changed to 50.
Blending Mode
The Blending Mode drop-down menu can be used to set the style of blend applied to a figure(s). In the example below, the Difference blending mode has been chosen.
