Properties
| Property | Type | Access | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| angle | any | r/w | The angle at which the shadow is thrown. Can return: Real (-180 – 180) or NothingEnum enumerator (-180 – 180). |

The color mode dictates the array values: for RGB, specify three values, each in the range 0 to 255, in the format [R,G,B]; for CMYK, specify four values, each as a percentage and each in the range 0 to 100, in the format [C,M,Y,K]; for LAB, specify three values in the format [L,A,B], with L in the range 0 to 100 and A and B in the range -128 to 127. Can return: Swatch or NothingEnum enumerator. |
| honorOtherEffects | any | r/w | If true, the drop shadow will take into account other non-shadow effects. Can return: Boolean or NothingEnum enumerator. |
| knockedOut | any | r/w | If true, the layer will knock out the drop shadow. Can return: Boolean or NothingEnum enumerator. |

| properties | Object | r/w | A property that allows setting of several properties at the same time. |
| size | any | r/w | The radius (in pixels) of the blur applied to the drop shadow. (Range depends on the unit type. For points: 0 to 144; for picas: 0p0 to 12p0; for inches: 0 to 2; for mm: 0 to 50.08; for cm: 0 to 5.08; for ciceros: 0c0 to 11c3.128.). Can return: Unit (0 – 144 points) or NothingEnum enumerator (0 – 144). |
| spread | any | r/w | The amount (as a percentage of the blur width) to spread the footprint of the drop shadow and reduce the radius of the blur. (Range: 0 to 100). Can return: Real (0 – 100) or NothingEnum enumerator (0 – 100). |
| useGlobalLight | any | r/w | If true, uses the global light angle. Can return: Boolean or NothingEnum enumerator. |
| xOffset | any | r/w | The horizontal offset of the drop shadow. Range depends on the unit type. For points: -1000 to 1000; for picas: -83p4 to 83p4; for inches: -13.8889 to 13.8889; for mm: -352.778 to 352.778; for cm: -35.277 to 35.277; for ciceros: -78c2.389 to 78c2.389. Can return: Unit (-1000 – 1000 points) or NothingEnum enumerator (-1000 – 1000). |
| yOffset | any | r/w | The vertical offset of the drop shadow. (Range depends on the unit type. For points: -1000 to 1000; for picas: -83p4 to 83p4; for inches: -13.8889 to 13.8889; for mm: -352.778 to 352.778; for cm: -35.277 to 35.277; for ciceros: -78c2.389 to 78c2.389). Can return: Unit (-1000 – 1000 points) or NothingEnum enumerator (-1000 – 1000). |
