Making Text More Visible Using Shadows (iOS, Xcode 8, Swift 3)

I am trying to add a shadow to my UIViews using a custom extension that I created for the UIView class. Here is the code for the extension.

可從User Defined Runtime Attributes 設定三種常見的陰影效果，layer.shadowOpacity，layer.shadowOffset 和layer.shadowRadius。

If you want to add shadow then do this : viewLoginCustom.dropShadow(color: yourColor, opacity: 1, offSet: CGSize.zero, radius: 3, scale: true)

iOS can dynamically generate shadows for any UIView, and these shadows automatically adjust to fit the shape of the item in question.

當處理圖片圓角時，須clipToBounds = true，image view才能把image裁切掉，但shadow是影響在image所以也會被裁切掉。需要同時有cornerRadius與shadow，則 ...

預設值為0，也就是完全透明； 所以如果只是要陰影，並沒有需要客製化的話， 只需要修改shadowOpacity，畫面上就會有offset = [0, -3], radius = 3 的不透明黑色 ...

In this article we're going to look at some of the various effects you can create using shadows, all by manipulating the layer properties.

All you need to do in order to add a shadow to a UIView object is to set the shadow properties of the view's layer.

layer.shadowOffset = CGSize.init(width: 0, height: 3) layer.shadowColor = UIColor.gray.cgColor layer.shadowRadius = 3 layer.shadowOpacity = 0.4
