gray

Type

keyword

Summary

Used with the visual effect command, to show a blank gray screen at the end of the visual effect.

Syntax

gray

Description

Use the gray keyword to transition to a blank gray background in a sequence of visual effects.

Visual effects can be stacked in a sequence by using several visual effect commands in succession. If the last transition ends with showing the destination card, and all except the last one shows an intermediate image (such as a solid gray color), the effect is enhanced. You show a solid gray color at the end of a transition by using the gray keyword.

The gray background is actually a checkerboard pattern of alternating black and white pixels.

This example dissolves the image on the screen through an intermediate blank gray screen:

    visual effect dissolve to gray -- from card to solid gray
    visual effect dissolve to card -- from gray to final card
    go card \"Destination\"

Examples
