 /* Enable shadow support */
 $myPicture->setShadow(TRUE,array("X"=>1,"Y"=>1,"R"=>0,"G"=>0,"B"=>0,"Alpha"=>20)); 

 /* Left green box */
 $RectangleSettings = array("R"=>181,"G"=>209,"B"=>27,"Alpha"=>100);
 $myPicture->drawRectangle(20,60,400,170,$RectangleSettings);

 /* Left orange surrounding box with an alpha factor of 30% */
 $RectangleSettings = array("R"=>209,"G"=>134,"B"=>27,"Alpha"=>30);
 $myPicture->drawRectangle(30,30,200,200,$RectangleSettings);

 /* Right Red box */
 $RectangleSettings = array("R"=>209,"G"=>31,"B"=>27,"Alpha"=>100);
 $myPicture->drawRectangle(480,50,650,80,$RectangleSettings);

 /* Right Orange box */
 $RectangleSettings = array("R"=>209,"G"=>125,"B"=>27,"Alpha"=>100);
 $myPicture->drawRectangle(480,90,650,120,$RectangleSettings);

  /* Right Yellow box */
 $RectangleSettings = array("R"=>209,"G"=>198,"B"=>27,"Alpha"=>100,"Ticks"=>2);
 $myPicture->drawRectangle(480,130,650,160,$RectangleSettings);

 /* Right Green box */
 $RectangleSettings = array("R"=>134,"G"=>209,"B"=>27,"Alpha"=>100,"Ticks"=>2);
 $myPicture->drawRectangle(480,170,650,200,$RectangleSettings);

This will draw some transparency test on the left side of the picture and 4 colored boxes on the right. Shadow support is enabled on a (+1,+1) basis.
