I need to put shadow to the text I put as object.
This works for the text:
imageenvect1.ObjPenWidth[-1]:= StrToInt(EditpenW.text);
ImageEnVect1.ObjTransparency[-1]:=TrackbarTransP.Position;
This does not compile:
ImageEnVect1.EnableAlphaChannel:=True; //help file tells me to do this, but is it right like I apply it to an object?
ImageEnVect1.ObjID[-1].AddSoftShadow(5, 3,3,False,clRed,100); This does not work.
This compiles but does not do anything:
ImageEnVect1.EnableAlphaChannel:=True; //help file tells me to do this, but is it right like I apply it to an object?
ImageEnVect1.Proc.AddSoftShadow(5, 3,3,False,0,100);
Any help?
Thanks
Kind regards

Hi Piet,
you should set ObjSoftShadow[] property. Example:
ImageEnVect1.ObjText[-1] := 'Hello World!';
ImageEnVect1.ObjKind[-1] := iekTEXT;
ImageEnVect1.ObjSoftShadow[-1].Enabled := true;
ImageEnVect1.AddNewObject();

Molto grazie Fabrizio.
It puts a shadow. Next step is to set the shadow color and intensity, radius etc. Is it possible?
Kind regards

Piet,
other shadow options are still in ObjSoftShadow object. So you can set, for example:
ImageEnVect1.ObjSoftShadow[-1].Radius := ....
Color depends by the object pen color. |

Thanx Fabrizio
I set the color with this code: ImageEnVect1.ObjSoftShadow[-1].ShadowColor:=TColor2TRGB(clred);
BUT:
The whole object shows as a shadowed color, not just the text.
Is it possible to clean up?
Look at the sample I attach.
Thanks
Kind regards

| Shadows applies only to the whole object. Of course you can leave only the text (in order to apply shadow to the text only) removing the object border and object background. |

| You should set ObjPenStyle to psClear and ObjBrushStyle to bsClear. |

Fabrizio,
It does nothing about the shadows background. Can you adjust your sample with text and arrows to add shadows that work well?
OR
Write a small code to duplicate the above sample, but without the shadow on the whole object.
Thanks
Piet

I have the same problem, not getting rid of that background shadow when setting a softshadow for a line object. Can anyone give me a hint how to do this please? Did you solve it in the meanwhile, PietH?
Thank you.
Kind regards
