4 Effects applied to an ellipse in xlsgen (glow, shadow, ...)

xlsgen 4.0 introduces effects to drawings (text boxes, vector shapes, pictures and chart elements).

The effects include :

• glow
• blur
• shadow
• reflection
• soft edges
• material and bevel
• camera

Each effect has its own programming interface. Usually the default values will be enough which means an effect can be applied with a single line of code. And of course effects can be combined.

Here is how to apply blur to a picture :

picture.Effect.Blur.Strength = 10;
