Shadows are feathering bands around the image (plus frame) under consideration. They may be of any color, different size and direction. There is a variety of paraameters to control frames.
In contrast to borders and frames, shadows are only used horizontally and vertically.

Shadow Widths

The width of the shadow to draw can be controlled by 5 parameters

Unique Shadow Widths

This parameter denotes shadow widths that are uniform in the 2 choosen quarters. The value can be overwritten by the edgewise flavour of this parameter.

key	description	available values	examples	default value
shWidth	width of the shadow band to be created, in pixels	positive integer	shWidth=10 shWidth="15"	0 (no shadow)

Edge-wise Shadow Widths

This parameter denotes shadow widths that are valid for only one of the 2 directions. The value overwrites shWidth (if given) for the denoted direction, the other direction is left untouched.

key	description	available values	examples	default value
shWidthX shWidthY	width of the shadow band to be created, in pixels	positive integer	shWidthX=10 shWidthY="15"	0 (no shadow)

Example Images

class=XBorderFilter shWidth=20

class=XBorderFilter shWidthX=20 shWidthY=10

Edge-wise Shadow Excess

This parameter denotes the increase of the shadow in the opposite direction of the

key	description	available values	examples	default value
shExX shExY	width of the shadow excess to be created, in pixels	positive integer	shExX=10 shExY="15"	0 (no shadow excess)

Example Images

class=XBorderFilter shWidth=20 shExX=10 shExY=10

Shadow Color

The color of the shadow band to draw can be controlled by the parameter shCol

key	description	available values	examples	default value
shCol	color of the shadow to be created	color names or #......-values	shCol=black shCol=gray shCol=#ff0000	gray

Example Images

class=XBorderFilter shWidth=20 shCol=red

Shadow Transparency

The transparency of the shadow on the image edges can be controlled by the parameter shCol

key	description	available values	examples	default value
shTrans	max. transparency of the shadow to be created, in %	positive integers	shTrans=50	0%

Example Images

class=XBorderFilter shWidth=20 shTrans=50

Shadow Direction

The direction of the shadow can be controlled by the Parameter shDir

key	description	available values	examples	default value
shDir	shadow direction	NORTH_EAST, NORTHEAST, NE NORTH_WEST, NORTHWEST, NW SOUTH_EAST, SOUTHEAST, SE SOUTH_WEST, SOUTHWEST, SW (case-insensitive)	shDir=NW	SE, if param not given or wrong

Example Images

class=XBorderFilter shWidth=30 shDir=NW

Shadow Intensity

The intensity and decay of the shadow can be controlled by the Parameter shDrop

key	description	available values	examples	default value
shDrop	shadow rendering	SOFT NORM HARD (case-insensitive)	shDrop=hard	norm

Example Images

class=XBorderFilter shWidth=20 shDrop=hard

class=XBorderFilter shWidth=20 shDrop=soft
