*** ** * ** ***
Intermediate rendering step used to render drawing commands with a corresponding visual effect. A[RenderEffect](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/graphics/RenderEffect)can be configured on a[RenderNode](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/graphics/RenderNode)through[RenderNode.setRenderEffect(RenderEffect)](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/graphics/RenderNode#setRenderEffect(android.graphics.RenderEffect))and will be applied when drawn through[Canvas.drawRenderNode(RenderNode)](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/graphics/Canvas#drawRenderNode(android.graphics.RenderNode)). Additionally a[RenderEffect](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/graphics/RenderEffect)can be applied to a View's backing RenderNode through[View.setRenderEffect(RenderEffect)](https://developer.android.com/reference/android/view/View#setRenderEffect(android.graphics.RenderEffect))
