with reguard to this specific example, select the object, then go to

object > ungroup

you will see he just did that trick.

of copying the yellow one, turning it gray, lowering it to the background, and moving it about 3 spaces to the right and 6 to the bottom, then grouped them.

Hi,

how would I create an object with a shadow with inkscape?

I have attached an example. It is a stripped down SVG file taken from http://www.germane-software.com/software/SVG/SVG::Graph/ which uses a ruby library to generate charts (including pie charts with shadows) in SVG.

Basically, the shadow is just a translated copy of the main object, black, and blurred.

Any chance to generate such a shadow in inkscape?
