Platform effects

Platform effects are used to simplify native control customization, reducing the need to create CustomRenderers for small styling changes. This means we don't have to create a custom renderer every single time we want native customization. To implement a PlatformEffect, we first create a class that subclasses the PlatformEffect framework. Then we have to write platform-specific implementations for each.

Following is a small overview of how the rendering process will look among the different projects:

Let's add a new folder called Effects inside the Camera project, add in a new file called LabelShadowEffect.cs, and implement the following:

public class LabelShadowEffect : RoutingEffect 
    { 
        #region Public Properties 
 
        public float Radius { get; set; } 
 
        public Color Color { get; set; } 
 
        public float DistanceX { get; set; } 
 
        public float DistanceY { get; set; } 
 
        #endregion 
 
        #region Constructors 
...
