On a website I've seen awesome formulas:

Is there any possibility to make

  1. shaded text or
  2. even shaded formulas? I know chemfig, but i haven't found a possibility for shading

with LaTeX / XeLaTex

    Not to detract you from making these, but beware that text shadows often look terrible in print, and use quite a lot of ink. – Konrad Rudolph May 20 '14 at 10:32

There is the shadowtext package, which I didn't try. But I guess for the website some post-processing was used.

E.g. have a look at how you can do that with ImageMagick: http://www.macinchem.org/applescript/imagemagick.php

  • Thank you very much! I have tried the shadowtext package, which works with chemfig too. In order to get blurred shadows like in the example above you need post-processing, thanks for the link, this website was verhy helpful. –  May 26 '14 at 15:02
