switching graphic effects on and off

[mmiele]

Hi,
anyone knows how to switch a graphic fx (dropShadow, innerGlow, etc) on and off?
If, for example, I do this:

Code: Select all

set the dropShadow of grc "mygraph" to empty

the fx is switched on instead than off!

Hi mmiele,

Unfortunately the docs are not helpful in this respect.

I used
set the dropshadow of me to 0.

It turned off the effect, but I also lost the ability to turn it back on.

Is there a way to toggle the effects on and off?

I did a search for graphic effects and dropshadow in the user guide, but did not see anything. Did I miss something? Where doe Rev keep this info, other than the dictionary?

Hi Max,
You just mentioned two different sources of information the User Guide and the Dictionary.
In the Dictionary the dropshadow has many properties you can set like color and opacity. Setting the opacity to 0 makes the dropshadow transparent and 100 shows the dropshadow.
Still that might not help if you are measuring the size of the object.
Oh but wait... you can set the size to 0.

EDIT: the dropshadow is not calculated as part of the objects size so setting the opacity is the way to go.

Thanks,

Changing the opacity of the button works great.

I assumed dropshadow had a toggle command, like "set the visible to false", since there was a checkbox next to "Dropshadow"

Thank you, Max
