Class InnerShadow

java.lang.Object

javafx.scene.effect.Effect
- javafx.scene.effect.InnerShadow

public class InnerShadow
extends Effect

A high-level effect that renders a shadow inside the edges of the given content with the specified color, radius, and offset.

Example:

InnerShadow innerShadow = new InnerShadow();
 innerShadow.setOffsetX(4);
 innerShadow.setOffsetY(4);
 innerShadow.setColor(Color.web("0x3b596d"));

 Text text = new Text();
 text.setEffect(innerShadow);
 text.setX(20);
 text.setY(100);
 text.setText("InnerShadow");
 text.setFill(Color.ALICEBLUE);
 text.setFont(Font.font(null, FontWeight.BOLD, 50));

The code above produces the following:

Property Detail
- input
```
public final ObjectProperty<Effect> inputProperty
```
  The input for this Effect. If set to null, or left unspecified, a graphical image of the Node to which the Effect is attached will be used as the input.
  
  Default value:
  
  null
  
  See Also:
  
  getInput(), setInput(Effect)
- radius
```
public final DoubleProperty radiusProperty
```
  The radius of the shadow blur kernel. This attribute controls the distance that the shadow is spread to each side of the source pixels. Setting the radius is equivalent to setting both the width and height attributes to a value of (2 * radius + 1).
```
Min:   0.0
       Max: 127.0
   Default:  10.0
  Identity:   0.0
```
  Default value:
  
  10.0
  
  See Also:
  
  getRadius(), setRadius(double)
- width
```
public final DoubleProperty widthProperty
```
  The horizontal size of the shadow blur kernel. This attribute controls the horizontal size of the total area over which the shadow of a single pixel is distributed by the blur algorithm. Values less than 1.0 are not distributed beyond the original pixel and so have no blurring effect on the shadow.
```
Min:   0.0
       Max: 255.0
   Default:  21.0
  Identity:  <1.0
```
  Default value:
  
  21.0
  
  See Also:
  
  getWidth(), setWidth(double)
- height
```
public final DoubleProperty heightProperty
```
  The vertical size of the shadow blur kernel. This attribute controls the vertical size of the total area over which the shadow of a single pixel is distributed by the blur algorithm. Values less than 1.0 are not distributed beyond the original pixel and so have no blurring effect on the shadow.
```
Min:   0.0
       Max: 255.0
   Default:  21.0
  Identity:  <1.0
```
  Default value:

```
Min: n/a
       Max: n/a
   Default: BlurType.THREE_PASS_BOX
  Identity: n/a
```
  Default value:
  
  THREE_PASS_BOX
  
  See Also:
  
  getBlurType(), setBlurType(BlurType)
- choke
```
public final DoubleProperty chokeProperty
```
  The choke of the shadow. The choke is the portion of the radius where the contribution of the source material will be 100%. The remaining portion of the radius will have a contribution controlled by the blur kernel. A choke of 0.0 will result in a distribution of the shadow determined entirely by the blur algorithm. A choke of 1.0 will result in a solid growth inward of the shadow from the edges to the limit of the radius with a very sharp cutoff to transparency inside the radius.
```
Min: 0.0
       Max: 1.0
   Default: 0.0
