Blur a shape in SkiaSharp

ashleyvanlaer

I need to blur a shape in SkiaSharp because i'm placing this shape behind another shape to become a shadow effect. So my question is. How can I make a shape blurry?

You can use an mask filter when drawing the "shadow":
https://developer.xamarin.com/api/type/SkiaSharp.SKMaskFilter/

This allows you to control an effect when drawing. Here is a sample:
