        Text {
            effect: DropShadow { offsetY: 3 color: Color.color(0.4, 0.4, 0.4) };
            cache: true
            x: 10 y: 70
            fill: Color.RED
            content: "JavaFX drop shadow..."
            font: Font.font(null, FontWeight.BOLD, 32);
        },
        Circle {
            effect: DropShadow { offsetY: 4 }
            centerX: 50 centerY: 125
            radius: 30
            fill: Color.ORANGE

publicradiusNumber10.0

The radius of the shadow blur kernel.

The radius of the shadow blur kernel. 

       Min:  1.0
       Max: 63.0
   Default: 10.0
  Identity:  n/a

10.0  
publicspreadNumber0.0

The spread of the shadow.

The spread of the shadow. The spread is the portion of the radius where the contribution of the source material will be 100%. The remaining portion of the radius will have a contribution controlled by the Guassian kernel. A spread of 0.0 will result in a pure Gaussian distribution of the shadow. A spread of 1.0 will result in a solid growth outward of the source material opacity to the limit of the radius with a very sharp cutoff to transparency at the radius.
