## ReflectionFormat class

Represents the reflection formatting for an object.


### Remarks

Use the [ShapeBase.reflection](../shapebase/reflection/) property to access reflection properties of an object.
You do not create instances of the [ReflectionFormat](./) class directly.




### Properties

| Name | Description |
| --- | --- |
| [blur](./blur/) | Gets or sets a double value that specifies the degree of blur effect applied to the reflection effect in points. The default value is 0.0. |
| [distance](./distance/) | Gets or sets a double value that specifies the amount of separation of the reflected image from the object in points. The default value is 0.0. |
| [size](./size/) | Gets or sets a double value between 0.0 and 1.0 representing the size of the reflection as a percentage of the reflected object. The default value is 0.0. |
| [transparency](./transparency/) | Gets or sets a double value between 0.0 (opaque) and 1.0 (clear) representing the degree of transparency for the reflection effect. The default value is 0.0. |

### Methods

| Name | Description |
| --- | --- |
|[ remove()](./remove/#default) | Removes [ReflectionFormat](./) from the parent object. |

### Examples

Shows how to interact with reflection shape effect.

```python
doc = aw.Document(file_name=MY_DIR + 'Various shapes.docx')
shape = doc.get_child(aw.NodeType.SHAPE, 0, True).as_shape()
shape.reflection.transparency = 0.37
shape.reflection.size = 0.48
shape.reflection.blur = 17.5
shape.reflection.distance = 9.2
doc.save(file_name=ARTIFACTS_DIR + 'Shape.Reflection.docx')
doc = aw.Document(file_name=ARTIFACTS_DIR + 'Shape.Reflection.docx')
shape = doc.get_child(aw.NodeType.SHAPE, 0, True).as_shape()
reflection_format = shape.reflection
self.assertAlmostEqual(0.37, reflection_format.transparency, delta=0.01)
self.assertAlmostEqual(0.48, reflection_format.size, delta=0.01)
self.assertAlmostEqual(17.5, reflection_format.blur, delta=0.01)
self.assertAlmostEqual(9.2, reflection_format.distance, delta=0.01)
reflection_format.remove()
self.assertEqual(0, reflection_format.transparency)
self.assertEqual(0, reflection_format.size)
self.assertEqual(0, reflection_format.blur)
self.assertEqual(0, reflection_format.distance)
```
