emboss

I want to show 3D embossed look and feel as shown in following image. I used EmbossMaskFilter but cannot get it to show the effect (see code below). Is there a different way to do this? or how can I use the EmbossMaskFilter for this. Required output My output Path path2 = new Path(); public Paint fillPaint = null; // called in constructor public void createPath() { //path 2 Big one araay = new Point[]{new Point(144,320),new Point(109,200), new Point(171,308),new Point(178,240),new Point(171,172),new Point(109,282),new Point(144,160)}; AddBeziers(path2, araay, 320, 144); AddLine(path2, 216, 144

Can I know how to have the emboss effect as the text " Reminders " as shown on the picture? It looks like the text are embedded? Thanks UPDATE FOR iOS 7.0 In iOS 7.0, Apple added a new attribute, NSTextEffectAttributeName , for attributed strings. If your deployment target is iOS 7.0 or later, you can set this attribute to NSTextEffectLetterpressStyle to draw an attributed string in an embossed style. ORIGINAL I can't say for certain how Apple draws the embossed text. It looks to me like they fill the string glyphs with a reddish color, then apply a shadow around the interior edges of the
