Parameters of [UIToolbar setShadowImage forToolbarPosition]

topOrBottom
A toolbar position constant. You can use this parameter to indicate whether the shadowImage is intended for a toolbar at the top or bottom of the view.

Discussion of [UIToolbar setShadowImage forToolbarPosition]
When the shadowImage parameter is nil, the default shadow will be used. When non-nil, the shadowImage property is a custom shadow image to show instead of the default. Using the topOrBottom parameter, you can set a different shadow for toolbars at the top and bottom of the view. For a custom shadow image to be shown, a custom background image must also be set with the setBackgroundImage:forToolbarPosition:barMetrics: method. If the default background image is used, then the default shadow image will be used regardless of the value of the shadowImage parameter.
