Shadow effect using Equations Filter (AP)

[carl123]

Here's a macro that uses Equations to create a "long shadow" effect.  Originally designed for text but works on shapes as well.

Use any colour for your text or object except black

The shadow depth can be increased by immediately running the macro a second or third time (or more)

Shadows are created in groups, so you can change the opacity of the Group to control the shadow opacity

Could probably have created a macro using power duplicate commands to get the same effect but Equations are cool so would like to see more effects created by people using them

The Equation is about as simple as you can get and is shown below

x=x-1
y=y-1

Thank you for sharing.
Unfortunately, I didn't understand that with the equations
