Remarks

The ReflectionEffect class exposes properties that you can use to configure the reflection effect:

Angle

Specifies the angle of the reflection effect in degrees.

BlurRadius

Specifies the blur radius of the reflection effect.

Distance

Specifies how far to offset the reflection relative to the shape.

StartOpacity | EndOpacity

Specifies the start and end opacity of the reflection effect.

StartPosition | EndPosition

Specifies the start and end position of the reflection effect.

FadeAngle

Specifies the fade angle of the reflection effect.

HorizontalScale | VerticalScale

Specifies the horizontal and vertical scale factors of the reflection effect.

HorizontalSkew | VerticalSkew

Specifies the horizontal and vertical skew angles of the reflection effect. This property is measured in degrees and can have values in the (-90, 90) range.

RotateWithShape

Specifies whether the reflection effect rotates with the shape.

The following code snippet applies a reflection effect to a shape:

C#

using DevExpress.Docs.Presentation;
using System.Drawing;

namespace PresentationApiSample;

public class Program {
    public static void Main(string[] _) {

        Presentation presentation = new Presentation();
        presentation.Slides.Clear();

        Slide slide = new Slide(SlideLayoutType.Blank);
        presentation.Slides.Add(slide);

        Shape shape1 = new Shape(ShapeType.Rectangle);
        shape1.Outline = new OutlineStyle { Fill = new SolidFill(Color.RoyalBlue), Width = 8 };
        shape1.Fill = new SolidFill(Color.RoyalBlue);
        shape1.X = 1100;
        shape1.Y = 1100;
        shape1.Width = 300;
        shape1.Height = 300;
        slide.Shapes.Add(shape1);

        ShapeEffectProperties e_properties = new ShapeEffectProperties();
        e_properties.Reflection = new ReflectionEffect {
            Angle = 45,
            BlurRadius = 50,
            Distance = 50,
            StartOpacity = 0,
            EndOpacity = 100,
            StartPosition = 0,
            EndPosition = 100,
            FadeAngle = 45,
            HorizontalScale = 100,
            VerticalScale = 100,
            HorizontalSkew = 0,
            VerticalSkew = 0,
            RotateWithShape = true,
            ShadowAlignment = RectangleAlignType.Center
        };
        shape1.Effects = e_properties;
    }
}
