How is CALayer.shadowOffset set from CGSize?












0














If I do view.layer.shadowOffset = CGSize(width: -1, height: 1) what exactly does the numbers -1 for width, and 1 for height mean? How is the shadow determined from the CGSize passed? I found the documentation, but it's not very useful

  • It means one point difference from the current frame. Negative/positive on width should be used to set either it's the shadow needs a translation to left/right. Negative/positive on height should be used to set either it's the shadow needs a translation to top/bottom. I'd suggest to create 4 views, apply a shadow on them of "w:0,h:4", "w:0,h-4", "w:4,h:0", "w-4:h:0" to illustrate it.

Consider width and height as x and y. And you should be aware in iOS coordinates start from top left.
CGSize(width: -1, height: 1) means that the shadow will move 1 point to the left on x-axis and 1 point up on y-axis.
