/** \struct SkShadowParams

    This struct holds information needed for drawing shadows.

    fShadowRadius - radius of the shadow blur

    fBiasingConstant - A constant used in variance shadow mapping to directly
    0.0 - 1.0          reduce light bleeding. Essentially sets all shadows
    ~.25               below a certain brightness equal to no light, and does
                       a linear step on the rest. Essentially makes shadows
                       darker and more rounded at higher values.

    fMinVariance - Too low of a variance (near the outer edges of blurry
    ~512, 1024     shadows) will lead to ugly sharp shadow brightness
                   distortions. This enforces a minimum amount of variance
                   in the calculation to smooth out the outside edges of
                   blurry shadows. However, too high of a value for this will
                   cause all shadows to be lighter by visibly different
                   amounts varying on depth.

    fType - Decides which algorithm to use to draw shadows.
