This action creates a glass table effect (a.k.a. Reflection effect) on an Element. ImageDraw makes it easy to apply reflection effect on any Element showing it as it was standing on a glass table. You have full control over the action allowing you to specify the following settings:
Location: to set how the reflection of the Element will be positioned. If it is Auto, then the reflection will be positioned just below of the Element based on its dimensions; otherwise, the reflection position must be specified by Location X and Location Y.
Location X: to set the x-coordinate of the left side of the reflection object.
Location Y: to set the y-coordinate of the top side of the reflection object.
Opacity: to set the percentage of transparency in the reflection.
Reflection Percentage: to set the percentage of the Element height that will be reflected.
Examples
1. In the following example we have an ImageElement on the Canvas and a GlassTable action is applied on the ImageElement.
ImageElement before the action is applied.
ImageElement with GlassTable action applied on it.
Syntax sample
2. In the following example we have an ImageElement and a TextElement on the Canvas and a GlassTable action is applied on the TextElement only. Notice that in this case the Reflection had to be "manually positioned" because "g" letter.
