More gradient options (path, shape,radial2)
Migrated from https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/170421
The Idea:
Additional Gradient options:
- Gradient along path
- Gradient along shape
- Gradient along radial (conical)
- invert/swap colors
Original text (edit):
...gradient path : same as linear but following a path,
^ shape : same as radial but following contour of shape
^ radial 2 : start with color 0 at 0.1 degree and end with color 1 at 359.1 degreeMore useful:
X shape: for every line start from 0 in left shape-boundary and end to 1 in right shape-boundary <edge> 1
Y shape: same as above but from top to bottom edge (this last one is good for an aurora borealis) 1For the gradients options: invert colors (0 swap with 1) in gradient edit or multi color gradient (red->yellow->white)
Additional Information/Comments/Clarifications:
- Another "Believe It Or Not" non-duplicate issue here on GitLab...and if I'm wrong I owe you a beer.
🍻 - Gradient along shape:
- GIMP's Gradient tool: Shaped (Angular/Spherical/Dimple)
- Gradient along radial:
- NeXTSTEP/OPENSTEP/OSX/macOS "Spinning Beachball of Death"
😆 - Logos by Nick has a tutorial on how to achieve this since 0.92.1...but respectfully, it's a hack.
- NeXTSTEP/OPENSTEP/OSX/macOS "Spinning Beachball of Death"
- Invert/Swap Colors:
- Blender's Color Ramp node: Color > Color Ramp > Flip Color Ramp
- GIMP's Gradient tool: Reverse
- Tangential: IIRC Creature House Expression had similar gradient abilities. To this day nobody has come close replicating certain features that application had...but I digress.
