UPF Effects

Ultraviolet Framework 1.3 added support for assigning visual effects to elements that modify their appearance.

Effect Classes

There are, at present, three build-in effect types, all of which are found in the Ultraviolet.Presentation.Media.Effects namespace.

• BlurEffect

  Applies a Gaussian blur to the element.

• DropShadowEffect

  Applies a drop shadow to the element.

• ShaderEffect

  Applies the specified shader to the element.

An element's effect is specified by the value of the Effect dependency property defined on FrameworkElement.
