the Distortion of Style Attributes.
Position Type: When offsetting text attributes such as glows and outlines from text
objects that contain characters of different sizes, this pop-up menu specifies whether an
attribute is offset from the text uniformly (choose Absolute), or offset based on the size
of text characters (choose Relative).
• Absolute: When offsetting attributes, such as glows, shadows, and so on from text
objects, choose Absolute to create an even offset regardless of the size of the text
characters.
In the following image, the yellow glow is uniformly offset from the white text because
Absolute is chosen from the Position Type pop-up menu.
• Relative: When offsetting attributes, such as glows, shadows, and so on from text
objects, choose Relative to create an offset based on the size of the text characters.
In the following image, the yellow glow is offset from the white text based on the size
of the text characters because Relative is chosen from the Position Type pop-up menu.
