Press CTRL+G with Gimp open to launch the gradient dialog. So, now you know what all constitutes a gradient,Creating a gradient becomes a simple task.
Gimp defines gradient keeping segments in mind, Inkscape defines based on stoppoints.
The way a gradient is represented in Gimp and Inkscape is different. The above image shows how the blending function can make a difference.Ī simple gradient will have 2 stoppoints and one segment, complex gradients may have more than one segments. There is also a midpoint which defines the middle point for the blending process. Blending function(linear,curved,sinusoidal, etc.,) is a function which defines how the colors blend into each other within a segment. The color from left stoppoint blends into right stoppoint within this segment. Each stoppoint has properties of color,opacity(represented in terms of RGBA (Red,Green,Blue,Alpha) and position.Ģ) The region between 2 stoppoints is called a segment. These are the basic features of a gradient irrespective of software:ġ) Stops or stoppoints(endpoint): a gradient has atleast 2 stoppoints.
