Extrusion Element

Defines an extrusion for a shape.

The following attributes modify an extrusion.

Attribute	Description
AutoRotationCenter	Determines whether the center of rotation will be the geometric center of the extrusion.
BackDepth	Defines the amount of backward extrusion.
Brightness	Specifies the amount of brightness of a scene.
Color	Defines the color of the extrusion faces.
ColorMode	Determines the mode of extrusion color.
Diffusity	Defines the amount of diffusion of reflected light from an extruded shape.
Edge	Defines the apparent bevel of the extrusion edges.
Ext	Defines the default extrusion behavior for graphical editors.
Facet	Defines the number of facets used to describe curved surfaces of an extrusion.
ForeDepth	Defines the amount of forward extrusion.
LightFace	Determines whether the front face of the extrusion will respond to changes in the lighting.
LightHarsh	Determines whether the primary light source will be harsh.
LightHarsh2	Determines whether the secondary light source will be harsh.
LightLevel	Defines the intensity of the primary light source for the scene.
LightLevel2	Defines the intensity of the secondary light source for the scene.
LightPosition	Specifies the position of the primary light in a scene.
LightPosition2	Specifies the position of the secondary light in a scene.
LockRotationCenter	Determines whether the rotation of the extruded object is specified by the RotationAngle attribute.
Metal	Determines whether the surface of the extruded shape will resemble metal.
On	Determines whether an extrusion will be displayed.
Orientation	Specifies the vector around which a shape will be rotated.
OrientationAngle	Defines the angle that an extrusion rotates around the orientation.
Plane	Specifies the plane that is at right angles to the extrusion.
Render	Defines the rendering mode of the extrusion.
RotationAngle	Specifies the rotation of the object about the x- and y-axes.
RotationCenter	Specifies the center of rotation for a shape.
Shininess	Defines the concentration of reflected light of an extrusion surface.
SkewAmt	Defines the amount of skew of an extrusion.
SkewAngle	Defines the angle of skew of an extrusion.
Specularity	Defines the specularity of an extruded shape.
Type	Defines the way that the shape is extruded.
Viewpoint	Defines the viewpoint of the observer.
ViewpointOrigin	Defines the origin of the viewpoint within the bounding box of the shape.

Remarks

This element must be defined within a Shape element.

In addition, the On attribute must be set to True.

The following is the minimum code needed to produce an extrusion.

   <v:rect
   fillcolor="green"
   style="position:relative;top:1;left:1;width:50;height:50">
   <v:extrusion on="True"/>
   </v:rect>
