The CanvasRenderingContext2D.shadowOffsetY
property of the Canvas 2D API specifies the distance that shadows will be offset vertically.
Note: Shadows are only drawn if the shadowColor
property is set to a non-transparent value. One of the shadowBlur
, shadowOffsetX
, or shadowOffsetY
properties must be non-zero, as well.
A float specifying the distance that shadows will be offset vertically. Positive values are down, and negative are up. The default value is 0
(no vertical offset). Infinity
and NaN
values are ignored.
This example adds a blurred shadow to a rectangle. The shadowColor
property sets its color, shadowOffsetY
sets its offset 25 units towards the bottom, and shadowBlur
gives it a blur level of 10.
