B4A Library [B4X] [XUI] SD CreativeBackground

This new library is based on my latest work (here) of gradual backgrounds and @JordiCP 's code (here) that gave me permission to rework it and insert it in a custom view.

Thanks to an equation (here), called the valentine's equation, I can create a heart and I'm working on a new shape.
Working progress...

 

[Peter Meares]

Hi. This looks brilliant. Could I ask to get the the "groud " changed to "ground". There are a mixture of both words and it makes searching for the article tricky. Trivial issue and I love the effects.

 

[Star-Dust]

Sorry, a typo in writing the topic title

 

[Star-Dust]

Update rel 0.03

add 5 new effects in the ShadowEffectBackground class​

• TypeComics
• TypeDaisy4
• TypeDaisy5
• TypeDaisy8
• TypeHeart

 

[Peter Meares]

Thanks. Is it too late for the method as well. ShadowEffectBackgroud

 

[Star-Dust]

.

New example with animated effects

 

[Star-Dust]

Thanks. Is it too late for the method as well. ShadowEffectBackgroud

Are there any other errors?

 

[Peter Meares]

Not really fiar as my Itaian doe snot even run to "One beer please".
But possibly.

EffectBackroundToView maybe EffectBackgroundToView

TypeExagonShadow maybe TypeHexagonShadow

Two instances of:

• IsInitialized As Boolean
  Verifica se l'oggetto sia stato inizializzato.

And this
DeptEdge = Dept of shadow
is probably
DepthEdge = Depth of shadow

Sorry. They are amazing and I couldn't think how to create them.
Thx

 

[Star-Dust]

You obviously didn't do a good job last time and you didn't report all the errors

• IsInitialized As Boolean
  Verifica se l'oggetto sia stato inizializzato

To create the documentation I use a Java tool created by @Informatix (here). The message is produced in Italian because my IDE is in Italian. I have no intention of changing the settings of the IDE

Sorry. They are amazing and I couldn't think how to create them.
Thx

On the other hand, you know English. Be satisfied

• Added help comments to choose the pattern
• Added "Fill" field
  Sample
  [CODE lang="b4x" title="Gradiend"]Gb.GradientToView(MyView,Array As Int(0xFFAAAAAA,0xFF777777) ,Gb.Fill_BR_TL,xui.Color_White,0dip,15dip)[/CODE]
