I am looking for or trying to implement an algorithm to draw box shadows (as in the CSS 3 specifiction) which accepts the following parameters:
- Horizontal Offset
- Vertical Offset
- Inset
- Spread
- Blur
- Color
- (Optional: Opacity).
Where to start.
I have looked for Firefox / Chrome source code to see if I can pull an implementation from there, no such luck!
I have looked into linear gradient algorithms, drawing them with a box, which kind of works, except with rounded rectangles it leaves empty pixels in the shadow, presumably due to the radius of the edge.
I am doing this in .NET with GDI+. My aim is NOT to create drop shadows for images. I have already seen articles on this. I want to create drop shadows for shapes drawn with GDI+.
Any help appreciated!
I coded for you a DropShadowPanel that handles controls inside it and adds the shadows (outer or inner) as required by the Tag of the control.
As you can see in the image controls get their shadows as defined:
tags:
textbox: DropShadow:5,5,5,10,#000000,noinset
calendar: DropShadow:10,10,80,30,#0000FF,noinset
picturebox top left: DropShadow:-50,20,50,10,#888888,noinset
picturebox bottom left: DropShadow:10,10,20,20,#442200,inset
picturebox lower right: DropShadow:0,0,50,50,#442200,noinset
Here is the code for the Panel: (it uses intermediate drawings into an image before drawing to the control gdi object, to not make the form crawl - this actually works pretty fast)

Code is written fast without much review so there may be bugs especially if you set wring tags on controls).
PS. You may notice that inner shadow does not work for some controls. This is because they are wrappers around windows system controls. The panel cannot overcome this by itself, but you may do it like here: http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/4548/Generating-missing-Paint-event-for-TreeView-and-Li
