# Class DropShadow

java.lang.Object
javafx.scene.effect.Effect
javafx.scene.effect.DropShadow

public class DropShadow extends Effect
A high-level effect that renders a shadow of the given content behind the content with the specified color, radius, and offset.

Example:

     DropShadow dropShadow = new DropShadow();
     dropShadow.setRadius(5.0);
     dropShadow.setOffsetX(3.0);
     dropShadow.setOffsetY(3.0);
     dropShadow.setColor(Color.color(0.4, 0.5, 0.5));

     Text text = new Text();
     text.setEffect(dropShadow);
     text.setCache(true);
     text.setX(10.0);
     text.setY(70.0);
     text.setFill(Color.web("0x3b596d"));
     text.setText("JavaFX drop shadow...");
     text.setFont(Font.font(null, FontWeight.BOLD, 40));

     DropShadow dropShadow2 = new DropShadow();
     dropShadow2.setOffsetX(6.0);
     dropShadow2.setOffsetY(4.0);

     Circle circle = new Circle();
     circle.setEffect(dropShadow2);
     circle.setCenterX(50.0);
     circle.setCenterY(125.0);
     circle.setRadius(30.0);
     circle.setFill(Color.STEELBLUE);
     circle.setCache(true);

- ## Property Details

  - ### 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
    See Also:
      - `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
           Default:  10.0
          Identity:   0.0

    Default value:
      10.0
    See Also:
      - `getRadius()`
      - `setRadius(double)`

  - ### 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

      21.0
    See Also:
      - `getWidth()`
      - `setWidth(double)`

  - ### height

    public final DoubleProperty heightProperty

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

    See Also:
      - `getBlurType()`
      - `setBlurType(BlurType)`

  - ### spread

    public final DoubleProperty spreadProperty
    The spread of the shadow. The spread is the portion of the radius where the contribution of the source material will be 100%. The remaining portion of the radius will have a contribution controlled by the blur kernel. A spread of `0.0` will result in a distribution of the shadow determined entirely by the blur algorithm. A spread of `1.0` will result in a solid growth outward of the source material opacity to the limit of the radius with a very sharp cutoff to transparency at the radius.

               Min: 0.0
