- Visual Engineering - Shadow v3.32
- ---------------------------------
-
- This script adds different kind of dropshadows for logos/pictures.
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
- You can add some empty work space around picture, but then you
- need AddSpace.rexx
-
- Background must be totally white (R255 G255 B255).
-
-
-
- You can call this script from your own scripts, too.
-
- address command "rexx:rx ie:arexx/VisualBorder.rexx" <pic> <shadow> <color> <lowp> <threshval> <xplace> <yplace> <arguments>
-
- - <pic> is name of the picture
- - <shadow> is number or name of the shadow-effect without spaces (e.q. 0 or colorantialias)
- - <color> if "yes" or "1", then PrimaryColors.rexx is used for color of shadow
- - <lowp> lowpassvalue
- - <threshvalue> thresholdvalue
-
- - <xplace> horizontal offset of shadow
- - <yplace> vertical offset of shadow
-
- - <arguments> name of color in PrimaryColor.rexx or "random".
- After either one can be "1" with space, which
- means Contrast Stretch.
-
-
-
- Where asked for name of shadow, it can also be given as number
- of item in pop-up-menu. First item number 0. When given as name
- remove spaces from name.
-
-
- Example:
-
- rx ie:arexx/Shadow.rexx 000_testpic.iff 0 YES 15 250 -5 -5 RED
- rx ie:arexx/Shadow.rexx 000_testpic.iff lowantialias no 9 255 -5 -5
-
-
-
- Next lines return you the name of this new picture.
-
- PROJECT_LIST
- xyz=result
- pic=subword(xyz,1,1)
-
-
-
-
- IMPORTANT!
-
- If you have used earlier version than v2.78 of this script before,
- then you must delete IE:Prefs/veshadow#?.cfg or you will be
- granted with some error requesters.
-

- HISTORY
-
- 3.32
-
- Outline-typee was calling "rexx:rx", when it should have called
- "sys:rexxc/rx". Fixed.
-
- 3.31
-
- Now there's only 2 kinds of shadows for allready antialiased
- shapes. One for black or grey images. And one for colorful
- images. VE-Extras v1.72+ needed.
-
- New effect: Outline, can be used to grey or color images.
- White outline will be added around original shape.
-
- 3.23
-
- Calls to external scripts had a minor bug.
-
- 3.22
-
- Added possibility to adjust threshold of picture for shadow.
- OBS! Argument parsing changed.
-
- DELETE ie:Prefs/veshadow.cfg!!!
-
- 3.20
-
- Call to external script, AddSpace.rexx was buggy. Fixed.
-
- 3.19
-
- New argument parser and better handling of arguments. Read
- Notes/Shadow.notes, if you want to call this script from your
- own scripts. It's now much easier to do some patch processing.
-
- No more effects' subeffects. Every effect has it's own menu item.
-
- If an error occurs, delete all the files from IE:Prefs/ with
- filename "veshadow#?.cfg"
-
- 2.95
-
- Call to external script PrimaryColors.rexx (v1.72+) uses
- different method now.
-
- 2.94
-
- Now you can call this script from other scripts too or in other
- words do some batch processing.
-
- 2.88
-
- New effect available! Regtangle-effect is made just for regtangle
- pictures. It's not very useful for other shapes. Better shading
- than with Normal-effect. You'll see the difference.
-
- PS. Maybe I someday join effects together, so all the different
- effects could be affected to same picture on one run. Show some
- support and I'll do it. Just by saying "Hi there!" is almost
- enough.
-
- 2.78
-
- Normal is now abnormal! You can now use rastered shadows. For
- example when mixed with vertical lines gives really cool results.
- Adjusting lowpass value now affects all the shadow types.
-
- 2.60
-
- New in this version is possibility to add shadows to those shapes,
- that use some kind of antialiasing or smoothing on their edges.
- Before there would be lot of white pixels between logo and shadow.
- Smooth-effect tries its best to handle this.I've now included
- builtin dropshadow-effect to Visual Logo. It was quite impossible
- to do it user friendly, <b>after</b> Visual Logo.
-
- 2.50
-
- History started
-
-
-
-
-
- The archive, where this file came from, can be distributed using
- any kind of media (CD, Email, Net, BBS, FTP...), but contents of
- original archive must not be seperated from each other.
-
- You may modify the script for your own use, but don't except me to
- fix it, when you broke it. You may NOT spread modified versions of
- the script, nor part of it.
-
- If you are going to spread a script of yours, which calls one of
- Visual Engineering -scripts, you must include either to
- documentfile of your script or header of the script itself, Visual
- Engineering -websiteaddress and author's name and email address.
