### Class

# Meta ShadowFactory

#### Description [src]

    final class Meta.ShadowFactory : GObject.Object {
      /* No available fields */
    }

`MetaShadowFactory` is used to create window shadows. It caches shadows internally so that multiple shadows created for the same shape with the same radius will share the same MetaShadow.

#### Instance methods

###### meta_shadow_factory_get_params

Gets the shadow parameters for a particular class of shadows for either the focused or unfocused state. If the class name does not name an existing class, default values will be returned without printing an error.

###### meta_shadow_factory_get_shadow

Gets the appropriate shadow object for drawing shadows for the specified window shape. The region that we are shadowing is specified as a combination of a size-invariant extracted shape and the size. In some cases, the same shadow object can be shared between sizes; in other cases a different shadow object is used for each size.

###### meta_shadow_factory_set_params

Updates the shadow parameters for a particular class of shadows for either the focused or unfocused state. If the class name does not name an existing class, a new class will be created (the other focus state for that class will have default values assigned to it.)
