Transform Properties

The following table lists the transform properties that control the appearance of the output.

Property name Default Description
PixelRadius 2.0 Sets the spread of the blur. Values less than 1.0 produce no effect on the output. Values greater than 1.0 produce progressively more blurring in the output.
MakeShadow FALSE If TRUE, sets RGB values to 0 (black) and then blurs the image.
ShadowOpacity 0.75 When MakeShadow is TRUE, this property sets the opacity of the resulting shadow output.

Remarks

The MakeShadow property sets all colors to black and then blurs the image. The output image can then be placed beneath the input image, making it look as if the input image is casting a shadow.
