LinearGradientFilling

LinearGradientFilling[{col1,col2,,coln}]

is a two-dimensional graphics directive specifying that faces of polygons and other filled graphics objects are to be drawn using a progressive transition between colors coli along a straight horizontal line.

LinearGradientFilling[{pos1,pos2,,posn}{col1,col2,,coln}]

uses the colors coli at the scaled positions posi.

LinearGradientFilling[{pos1,pos2,,posn}{col1,col2,,coln},dir]

draws along the straight line with a direction dir.

LinearGradientFilling[{pos1,,posn}{col1,,coln},dir,padding]

uses the specified padding when drawing beyond the boundary positions pos1 and posn.

Properties & Relations  (5)

LinearGradientFilling uses the color space of the specified colors:

The linear gradient with colors in HSB color space:

Different colors can be given at a single position to generate hard stops:

LinearGradientImage returns an image with linear blend of colors:

Use Blend to generate an array of blended colors:

VertexColors interpolate between colors:

Possible Issues  (2)

When colors are specified with the same color space, that space is used for interpolation:

When colors are specified using different color spaces, interpolation happens in the color space of the first color:

Grayscale color space is interpreted as RGB color space:
