Arguments
Argument | Default | Description |
---|---|---|
glareSize | NormalGlare | The amount of glare. Must be one of the predefined constants NormalGlare, ReducedGlare or NoGlare. With NormalGlare and ReducedGlare, the glare will cover around 50% and 35% of the object. If NoGlare is used, there will be no glare and the effect will not look like glass at all, but is equivalent to the ChartDirector.API.softLighting effect. Usually, NormalGlare is best for thin objects with lightly colored background, while ReducedGlare is best for dark background objects or not-so-thin objects (eg. text boxes using white text on a dark background, or with more than 1 line of text). |
glareDirection | Top | The direction of the glare, which must be one of the predefined constants Top, Right, Bottom, Left. |
raisedEffect | 5 | With glass shading effect, the object will appear to have some 3D depth. The raisedEffect argument controls the amount of 3D depth in pixels. |
