It seems that the original "size" name is totally overloaded. Actually I thought about all kinds of extensions, including specifying x and y values and even a full loop range by x and y not just size. And I think what we need is this: shadow=<size>[,<direction>] <size> is positive. <direction> dafaults to 16, but 1, 4, 64 are good too. There are 8 directions, not just 4 diagonal. 8 directions = 8 bits. (-1, -1), (0, -1), (1, -1), (1, 0), (1, 1), (0, 1), (-1, 1), (-1, 0). I don't know whether specifying more than 1 direction (more than 1 bit) looks good, say 3 directions [n, ne, e] are encoded by 2+4+8=14. But I know that a shadow _around_ text should look nice: shadow=1,255 This draws a shadow 8 times, one in each direction. Just an idea.
