On a previous entry I mentioned that Jerry Huxtable created a huge collection of filters and that I wish to include them all eventually in GraphicsBuilder. Here is a preview of the shapeBurstFilter applied to a red-based gradient rectangle (the last rectangle in the image is the original one)



This is sample usage, the code shown is for the first rectangle in the image
antialias( 'on' ) rect( x: 10, y: 10, width: 100, height: 100, borderColor: false ){ gradientPaint( color2: 'red' ) shapeBurstFilter( merge: false, invert: false ) }
The trick with adding the filters is making a wrapper for each one in order to make them "observable", in other words, to be bindable and animatable That will take some time so I think that before committing to wrap them all I should release the next version of GraphicsBuilder.

There are other goodies by the way:

• colorPaint is a color-based paint, useful with multiPaint
• antialias is a shortcut for setting renderingHints for antialiasing
• pin is another shape that resembles the waypoints/pins on Google maps
• triangle is a shape operation for equilateral, isosceles and right triangles

Keep on Groovying!
