## Class Shadow

- java.lang.Object
- - javafx.scene.effect.Effect
  - - javafx.scene.effect.Shadow

-     public class Shadow
      extends Effect

  An effect which creates a monochrome duplicate of an input with blurry edges. This effect is primarily used along with its default black color for purposes of combining it with the original to create a shadow. It can also be used with a light color and combined with an original to create a glow effect. The `DropShadow` effect is a utility effect which automatically combines this `Shadow` effect with an original graphic for ease of adding a shadow to an existing scene graph `Node` with a single effect.
  Since:
    JavaFX 2.0

- - ### Property Detail

    - #### input

          public final ObjectProperty<Effect> inputProperty

      The input for this `Effect`. If set to `null`, or left unspecified, a graphical image of the `Node` to which the `Effect` is attached will be used as the input.
      Default value:
        null

        `getInput()`, `setInput(Effect)`

    - #### radius

          public final DoubleProperty radiusProperty

      The radius of the shadow blur kernel. This attribute controls the distance that the shadow is spread to each side of the source pixels. Setting the radius is equivalent to setting both the `width` and `height` attributes to a value of `(2 * radius + 1)`.

                 Min:   0.0
                 Max: 127.0

    - #### width

          public final DoubleProperty widthProperty

      The horizontal size of the shadow blur kernel. This attribute controls the horizontal size of the total area over which the shadow of a single pixel is distributed by the blur algorithm. Values less than `1.0` are not distributed beyond the original pixel and so have no blurring effect on the shadow.

                 Min:   0.0
                 Max: 255.0
             Default:  21.0
