EffectDropShadow.OffsetY property

Gets or sets the Y offset for the dropshadow

Syntax:

Property Get OffsetY() As Double
Property Let OffsetY(ByVal Value As Double)

Remarks:

The OffsetY property returns or specifies the vertical offset of a flat drop shadow.

See also the EffectDropShadow.SetOffset method.

Examples:

The following VBA example moves all flat drop shadows - so that the offset distance is 0.5" - while preserving the original offset angle.

Sub Test()
  Const Radius As Double = 0.5
  Dim s As Shape, ds As EffectDropShadow
  Dim dx As Double, dy As Double, r As Double
  For Each s In ActivePage.Shapes
    If s.Type = cdrDropShadowGroupShape Then
      Set ds = s.Effect.DropShadow
      If ds.Type = cdrDropShadowFlat Then
        dx = ds.OffsetX
        dy = ds.OffsetY
        r = Sqr(dx * dx + dy * dy)
        If r = 0 Then
          dx = 1
          r = 1
        End If
        ds.OffsetX = dx * Radius / r
        ds.OffsetY = dy * Radius / r
      End If
    End If
  Next s
End Sub
