1.50.1 Instance variables

elevation <- colour: [{hilited,reduced}|colour|pixmap]

Colour or pixmap object used to fill the top of the elevated area. When @default, only the edges will be painted.

elevation <- height: int

Height above the surface. Actually this is the with of the edges painted with elevation<-relief and elevation<-shadow.

elevation <- kind: {3d,shadow}

How the elevation is realised. The default is 3d, which implies the top- and left-edges are painted using the elevation<-relief colour and the bottom- and right sides using the elevation<-shadow colour. elevation<-kind shadow will paint a shadow image at the bottom-right side of the object.

elevation <- name: name|int*

Identifier for reuse. All elevation objects created with a non @nil elevation<-name are stored in the table @elevations. elevation<-convert will convert elevation identifiers to elevation objects.

elevation <- relief: [colour|pixmap]

Colour/pixmap used at light side. When @default, the elevation object will invoke colour<-hilite using the current background. See also elevation<-shadow.

elevation <- shadow: [colour|pixmap]

Colour used to paint the right and bottom edges of the object. When @default, the elevation object will invoke‘colour elevation<-reduce’on the current background colour.
