Using the first method, you cannot customize the shadow; it is applied
according to the default settings. The second method offers full
flexibility to configure the shadow properties. If the Line and Filling
toolbar is not shown when selecting an object, open it using View >
Toolbars on the menu bar.
The dialog box to customize a shadow is shown in Figure 109.
Figure 109: Dialog box for customizing the shadowing
of graphic objects
When the Use shadow option is selected, the following parameters
can be set:
Position: the selected point in the mini map determines the
direction in which the shadow is cast.
Distance: determines the distance between the object and the
shadow.
Color: sets the color of the shadow.
Transparency: determines the amount of transparency for the
shadow.
Tip
By setting the transparency value above 0%, the objects below
the shadow are not completely hidden by the shadow. This
produces a pleasant visual effect, as shown in Figure 110.
