[sc-users] Pen.setShadow + alt. ways for creating a shadow effect

[Michael Dzjaparidze <m_dzjaparidze@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I was wondering if all the functionalities of the Pen class are likely to be implemented at some point in the future. I see that a lot of methods are not working yet at the moment. In particular the setShadow method would be nice to have. Now I am hacking a, not so nice looking, shadow the following way:

// CREATES A SIMPLE SHADOW EFFECT

(

w = Window.new.front;

w.view.background_(Color.white);

w.drawFunc = {

    6.do{ |i|

        // set the Color

        Pen.color = Color.grey(0.3, 0.15);

        Pen.addRect(

Rect(20 + (i/1.5), 20 + (i/1.5), 40, 40)

        );

        Pen.fill;

Pen.fillColor = Color.white;

Pen.strokeColor = Color.black;

Pen.width = 0.2;

Pen.addRect(Rect(19,19,40,40));

Pen.fillStroke

    }

};

w.refresh;

)

Does someone perhaps know a better way to create nicer looking shadows?
