Usage

Using D3 Box Shadow is extremely straightforward. Once you have installed the library, include the D3 Box Shadow header file in your C program:

Initializing the Shadow

To create a box shadow effect, you first need to initialize the shadow structure using the box_shadow_init function. This function accepts the desired shadow color, size, and offset as parameters.

box_shadow_t shadow;
box_shadow_init(&shadow, 2, 4, 6, "#000000");

Applying the Shadow

To apply the box shadow effect to an element, simply call the box_shadow_apply function and pass the shadow structure along with the element's position and dimensions.

int x = 100, y = 100, width = 200, height = 100;
box_shadow_apply(&shadow, x, y, width, height);

Drawing the Element

Finally, you can draw the element along with the applied box shadow using your preferred drawing method in C.

draw_rectangle(x, y, width, height);

Examples

Example 1: Applying a Box Shadow to a Button

#include "d3_box_shadow.h"

int main() {
    box_shadow_t shadow;
    box_shadow_init(&shadow, 2, 4, 6, "#000000");

    // Create a button element
    int button_x = 100, button_y = 100, button_width = 100, button_height = 50;
    create_button(button_x, button_y, button_width, button_height);

    // Apply box shadow to the button
    box_shadow_apply(&shadow, button_x, button_y, button_width, button_height);

    // Draw the button
    draw_button(button_x, button_y, button_width, button_height);

    return 0;
}

Example 2: Applying a Box Shadow to a Window

#include "d3_box_shadow.h"

int main() {
    box_shadow_t shadow;
    box_shadow_init(&shadow, 4, 8, 12, "#808080");

    // Create a window element
    int window_x = 50, window_y = 50, window_width = 400, window_height = 300;
    create_window(window_x, window_y, window_width, window_height);

    // Apply box shadow to the window
    box_shadow_apply(&shadow, window_x, window_y, window_width, window_height);

    // Draw the window
    draw_window(window_x, window_y, window_width, window_height);

    return 0;
}
