![]() Click and drag within the fill moves the whole gradient (provided you don't click and drag on a specific gradient control) vs our creating a new one.Select the gradient filled objects and raise their opacity back to 100 from 0. This provides a lot more artistic control over the appearance of the fill and can. The addition of Mesh Gradients means the control points for an objects fill are in a grid ('mesh'), and individual control points can be given different values. Note, if you select a stop and bring up the color ring on another stop, it will change the color of the selected stop (it feels awkward since it's not where you're visually focused).

Inkscapes gradient tool has long had the ability to create multi-point linear and radial gradients. Pressing Alt when clicking a stop is what brings up the color chooser (right where your mouse is).The very obvious direction indicator pointing off the end stop of the gradient.Single click to delete a gradient stop (click on the X/delete tag that is attached to each stop).Single click to add a new gradient stop.Conical gradients can be achieved with meshes, as well as "advanced linear" and "advanced radial" gradients which you can see in the following video (note, some visual transforms may not be achievable or otherwise "easy" to achieve).Ī gradient editing video from Autodesk Sketchbook Designer demonstrates the type of advanced "warping" and such that could be applied: Youtube videoĪside from the transformations that can be applied to linear and radial gradients (see video above), some very nice usability perks for their gradient controls are as follows: Think of mesh editing as the real power-user/technical way to edit them. The addition of Mesh Gradients means the control points for an object's fill are in a grid ('mesh'), and individual control points can be given different values. A key to advanced gradients is that the regular mesh controls do not need to be visible for "other" advanced gradients. Inkscape's gradient tool has long had the ability to create multi-point linear and radial gradients. GIMP 2.8 (this shows only when creating initially):Īdobe Illustrator (not hovering over gradient controls):Īdobe Illustrator (while hovering over gradient controls):Īdvanced gradients, powered by gradient meshes will empower users to achieve visual effects not easily doable currently. Obvious applications of the gradient are finding the max/min of multivariable functions. In addition to these images which show various controls there is a video in the next section which shows some very nice UX in action. ![]() ![]() ![]() While ours has served us well, it's not exactly the best UX. First off, here are a few different on-canvas gradient controls from different applications. (Inkscape v0.92) Start Figure 1: (Figure 2): Lets say we want that blue circle to transition from blue to yellow, but not transparent. ![]()
