Syntax

(1) (To turn off drop shadows effect)

|dropshadow|

(2)

|dropshadow,size|

(3)

|dropshadow,sizex,sizey|

Parameters

size: float

The size in x and y to use for the vector of the dropshadow. This must be a valid float or an exception will be thrown. This will make a drop shadow positioned to the right and down by the value.

sizex: float

The horizontal offset to use for the vector of the dropshadow. This must be a valid float or an exception will be thrown.

sizey: float

The vertical offset to use for the vector of the dropshadow. This must be a valid float or an exception will be thrown.

Remarks

The drop shadows has slightly different behavior depending on the letter rendering method, but this command only changes its state.

In Regular Letter Rendering, drop shadows uses a separate letter slot per letter to render a pure black, half transparent version of the same letter, but offset by the vector specified by this command.

In Single Letter Rendering, this is instead done by using a second letter slot as opposed to one per line to do the same effect.

In Regular Letter Rendering, It also supports fadeletter which will render the drop shadow letter in a fully transparent color, but progressively go to pure black, half transparent in the course of 200 frames.
