progressiveAcrylic(element, {
    blur: {
        enabled: true,
        maxBlur: 200,
        height: '70%',
        direction: 'bottom'
    },
    tint: {
        enabled: true,
        gradient: {
            direction: 'to bottom',
            colors: [
                { color: '#ff6b6b', stop: 0, opacity: 0.3 },
                { color: '#4ecdc4', stop: 50, opacity: 0.2 },
                { color: '#45b7d1', stop: 100, opacity: 0.4 }
            ]
        },
        opacity: 1,
        blendMode: 'overlay'
    }
});

Dynamic Curve Effect

progressiveAcrylic(element, {
    blur: {
        enabled: true,
        maxBlur: 300,
        height: '40%',
        direction: 'bottom',
        curve: [0.68, -0.55, 0.265, 1.55] // Bounce curve
    },
    luminosity: {
        enabled: true,
        brightness: 1.3,
        contrast: 1.2,
        saturate: 1.4,
        opacity: 0.8
    }
});

Multi-Direction Blur

// Top blur
progressiveAcrylic(topElement, {
    blur: {
        enabled: true,
        maxBlur: 150,
        height: '30%',
        direction: 'top',
        position: 'top'
    }
});

// Bottom blur
progressiveAcrylic(bottomElement, {
    blur: {
        enabled: true,
        maxBlur: 150,
        height: '30%',
        direction: 'bottom',

Framework Examples

React Hook Example

import { useEffect, useRef } from 'react';
import { progressiveAcrylic } from 'progressive-acrylic';

function useProgressiveAcrylic(options) {
    const ref = useRef(null);
    const instanceRef = useRef(null);
    
    useEffect(() => {
        if (ref.current) {
            instanceRef.current = progressiveAcrylic(ref.current, options);
        }
        
        return () => {
            if (instanceRef.current) {
                instanceRef.current.destroy();
            }
        };
    }, []);
    
    const updateOptions = (newOptions) => {
        if (instanceRef.current) {
            instanceRef.current.update(newOptions);
        }
    };
    
    return { ref, updateOptions };
}

// Usage
function AcrylicCard() {
    const { ref, updateOptions } = useProgressiveAcrylic({
        blur: { enabled: true, maxBlur: 200 }
    });
    
    return (
        <div className="card">
            <div ref={ref} className="card-blur" />
            <div className="card-content">
                <h3>Acrylic Card</h3>
                <button onClick={() => updateOptions({ blur: { maxBlur: 300 } })}>
                    Increase Blur
                </button>
            </div>
        </div>
    );
