Stripe

 

Stripe is a luminous line light effect. You can modify this element's size, opacity, thickness, edge softness, and color.

Preview of the element Stripe

The Color of the Stripe is set on a gradient line that has two white sliders initially. The left slider represents the color in the center of the element, the right slider - the edge color, with soft transitions between them.

To change a slider color you should double-click on it with the left mouse button and choose a color from the Standard color selection dialog box. You can add an infinite number of intermediate sliders and set a color to each of them.

Color selection

The Size parameter sets the Stripe element's size as a percent of the minimal image size (width and height).
Size = 50% Size = 100%
Size = 50% Size = 100%

The visible size of the element depends on the softness of the edges (Softness parameter). Softer edges fade quicker, therefore the higher is the Softnes parameter value, the smaller is the visible size of the element.

 

The Softness parameter regulates the softness of the element's edges. The higher is the Softness value, the softer are the edges. A Stripe element with Softness set to zero has sharp edges.
Softness = 10% Softness = 80%
Softness = 10% Softness = 80%

The Opacity parameter sets the opacity level of the light effect. The default value of the parameter is 100% that corresponds to a solid Stripe element. The less is the parameter value the more transparent is the element. With Opacity =0% the element is completely transparent.
Opacity = 50% Opacity = 100%
Opacity = 50% Opacity = 100%

The Width parameter sets the width of the element.
Width = 50 Width = 150
Width = 50 Width = 150

When the Half checkbox is enabled only a half of the element is shown.
The whole element Half of the element
The whole element Half of the element
