Hi,
I would like to use pgf/tikz to build a box which has a nice 'mirror-
shadow'
at the bottom. Enclosed please find a minimal example. The first box
(\myboxone) basically shows what I want but the corners of the shadow
are
all rounded. Is there a way to have rounded corners at the top of the
shadow, but sharp corners at the bottom of the shadow? Can this be
achieved
with the \node command?
It can be achieved with the \fill command (\myboxtwo), however, I
could not
come up with a simple way of how to place the shadow precisely under
the box
in this case.
All the best
Marius
