The 26 effect can be visualized as a concentric circle with motion. 27 28 Example: 29 30 ```html 31 <div style="position:relative"> 32 <paper-ripple></paper-ripple> 33 </div> 34 ``` 35 36 Note, it's important that the parent container of the ripple be relative position, otherwise 37 the ripple will emanate outside of the desired container. 38 39 `paper-ripple` listens to "mousedown" and "mouseup" events so it would display ripple 40 effect when touches on it. You can also defeat the default behavior and 41 manually route the down and up actions to the ripple element. Note that it is 42 important if you call `downAction()` you will have to make sure to call 43 `upAction()` so that `paper-ripple` would end the animation loop. 44 45 Example: 46 47 ```html 48 <paper-ripple id="ripple" style="pointer-events: none;"></paper-ripple> 49 ... 50 downAction: function(e) { 51 this.$.ripple.downAction({detail: {x: e.x, y: e.y}}); 52 }, 53 upAction: function(e) { 54 this.$.ripple.upAction(); 55 } 56 ``` 57 58 Styling ripple effect: 59 60 Use CSS color property to style the ripple: 61 62 ```css 63 paper-ripple { 64 color: #4285f4; 65 } 66 ``` 67 68 Note that CSS color property is inherited so it is not required to set it on 69 the `paper-ripple` element directly. 70 71 By default, the ripple is centered on the point of contact. Apply the `recenters` 72 attribute to have the ripple grow toward the center of its container. 73 74 ```html 75 <paper-ripple recenters></paper-ripple> 76 ``` 77 78 You can also center the ripple inside its container from the start. 79 80 ```html 81 <paper-ripple center></paper-ripple> 82 ``` 83 84 Apply `circle` class to make the rippling effect within a circle. 85 86 ```html 87 <paper-ripple class="circle"></paper-ripple> 88 ``` 89 90 91
