Unsere Freiwilligen haben diesen Artikel noch nicht in Deutsch übersetzt. Machen Sie mit und helfen Sie, das zu erledigen!

The CanvasRenderingContext2D.shadowBlur property of the Canvas 2D API specifies the level of the blurring effect; this value doesn't correspond to a number of pixels and is not affected by the current transformation matrix. The default value is 0.

Syntax

ctx.shadowBlur = level;
level
A float specifying the level of the blurring effect. The default value is 0. Negative, Infinity or NaN values are ignored.

Examples

Using the shadowBlur property

This is just a simple code snippet using the shadowblur property to set a blurred shadow. Note that shadows are only drawn, if the shadowColor property is set to a non-transparent value, too.

HTML

<canvas id="canvas"></canvas>

JavaScript

var canvas = document.getElementById("canvas");
var ctx = canvas.getContext("2d");

ctx.shadowColor = "black";
ctx.shadowBlur = 10;

ctx.fillStyle = "white";
ctx.fillRect(10, 10, 100, 100);

Edit the code below and see your changes update live in the canvas:

    setShadow(width, height, blur, color, alpha);
    setShadow(width, height, blur, graylevel, alpha);
    setShadow(width, height, blur, r, g, b, a);
    setShadow(width, height, blur, c, m, y, k, a);
