Draw Direct Shape Line Shadow

The ooodev.format.draw.direct.line.Shadow class is used to modify the values seen in Fig. 857 of a shape.

Setup

PythonNone

from __future__ import annotations
import uno
from ooodev.draw import Draw, DrawDoc, ZoomKind
from ooodev.loader.lo import Lo
from ooodev.format.draw.direct.line import Shadow, ShadowLocationKind
from ooodev.utils.color import StandardColor


def main() -> int:
    with Lo.Loader(connector=Lo.ConnectSocket()):
        doc = DrawDoc(Draw.create_draw_doc())
        doc.set_visible()
        Lo.delay(500)
        doc.zoom(ZoomKind.ZOOM_75_PERCENT)

        slide = doc.get_slide()

        width = 36
        height = 36
        x = round(width / 2)
        y = round(height / 2)

        line = slide.draw_line(x1=x, y1=y, x2=x + width, y2=y + height)
        style = Shadow(
            use_shadow=True,
            location=ShadowLocationKind.TOP_RIGHT,
            color=StandardColor.GRAY,
            distance=2,
            blur=1,
            transparency=50,
        )
        style.apply(line.component)

        f_style = Shadow.from_obj(line.component)
        assert f_style is not None
        assert f_style.prop_use_shadow is True
        assert f_style.prop_use_shadow is True
        assert f_style.prop_location == ShadowLocationKind.TOP_RIGHT

        Lo.delay(1_000)
        doc.close_doc()
    return 0

Add a Line Shadow to the shape

Adding a Line Shadow to the shape is done by using the Shadow class.

PythonNone

from ooodev.format.draw.direct.line import Shadow, ShadowLocationKind
from ooodev.utils.color import StandardColor
# ... other code

line = slide.draw_line(x1=x, y1=y, x2=x + width, y2=y + height)
style = Shadow(
    use_shadow=True,
    location=ShadowLocationKind.TOP_RIGHT,
    color=StandardColor.GRAY,
    distance=2,
    blur=1,
    transparency=50,
)
style.apply(line.component)

The results of the setting the shape line shadow can be seen in Fig. 858.

Get Shape Line Shadow

We can get the line shadow of the shape by using the Shadow.from_obj() method.

PythonNone

from ooodev.format.draw.direct.line import Shadow
# ... other code

# get the shadow from the shape
f_style = Shadow.from_obj(line.component)
assert f_style is not None
assert f_style.prop_use_shadow is True
assert f_style.prop_use_shadow is True
assert f_style.prop_location == ShadowLocationKind.TOP_RIGHT
