Write Direct Shape Shadow

The ooodev.format.writer.direct.shape.shadow.Shadow class is used to modify the values seen in Fig. 844 of a shape.

Setup

from __future__ import annotations

from ooodev.format.writer.direct.shape.shadow import Shadow as ShapeShadow
from ooodev.format.writer.direct.shape.shadow import ShadowLocationKind
from ooodev.utils.color import StandardColor
from ooodev.gui import GUI
from ooodev.loader.lo import Lo
from ooodev.office.write import Write
from ooodev.office.draw import Draw


def main() -> int:
    with Lo.Loader(Lo.ConnectPipe()):

        GUI.set_visible(doc=doc)
        Lo.delay(300)
        GUI.zoom(GUI.ZoomEnum.ENTIRE_PAGE)

            color=StandardColor.GRAY_LIGHT2
        )
        style.apply(rect)
        page.add(rect)

        f_style = ShapeShadow.from_obj(rect)
        assert f_style

        Lo.delay(1_000)

        Lo.close_doc(doc)

    return 0

    raise SystemExit(main())

Add a shadow to the shape

Adding a shadow to the shape is done by using the ShapeShadow class.

from ooodev.format.writer.direct.shape.shadow import Shadow as ShapeShadow
from ooodev.format.writer.direct.shape.shadow import ShadowLocationKind
# ... other code

page = Write.get_draw_page(doc)
rect = Draw.draw_rectangle(slide=page, x=10, y=10, width=100, height=100)
style = ShapeShadow(
    use_shadow=True,
    location=ShadowLocationKind.BOTTOM_RIGHT,
    blur=3,
    color=StandardColor.GRAY_LIGHT2
)
style.apply(rect)
page.add(rect)

The results of the setting the shape shadow can be seen in Fig. 1008.

Get Shape Shadow

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

from ooodev.format.writer.direct.shape.shadow import Shadow as ShapeShadow
# ... other code

# get the shadow from the shape
f_style = ShapeShadow.from_obj(rect)
assert f_style
