The Gradient Fill element can be used to draw
circle, ellipse, rectangle, round rectangle, (/ and \ ) lines.
Within the pre-defined shape, you can fill the color between
two shape band. The gradient fill color will be drawn from one
shape band to other shape band.
The following examples are different shapes
which are drawn by the Gradient Fill element. The yellowish white
background (Rectangle) is also drawn by the Gradient Fill tool.
Gradient Fill Coordinate:
The Gradient Fill Coordinate box is used to
define the X-Y coordinate and dimension of the canvas to form
the Gradient Fill.
Banding Shape1:
Banding Shape1 is used to define the X-Y coordinate,
dimension and color of the first shape. If you select a round
rectangle from the Gradient Fill Coordinate. There is a Radius
Box for you to define the corner radius of the round rectangle.
Banding Shape2:
Banding Shape2 is used to define the X-Y coordinate,
dimension and color of the first shape. If you select a round
rectangle from the Gradient Fill Coordinate. There is a Radius
Box for you to define the corner radius of the round rectangle.
Please note that you can define different
radius of a round rectangle from 1 to 999. There is a rectangle
if the radius is 1 whereas there is a circle/ellipse if the radius
is 999.
The following options are available:
Type of shape:
- Ellipse / Circle
- Rectangle
- Round Rectangle
- / Line (Option). The user can use Free Line
Tool instead
- \ Line (Option). The user can use Free Line
Tool instead.
Radius:
The corner of a round rectangle shape can
be set with different radius from 1 to 999 unit. If the radius
is 1 unit, the round rectangle will become a rectangle. If the
radius is 999 units, the round rectangle will become a circle.
Brush:
- Style: different
styles to fill a circle or rectangle
- Color: the
color that is used to fill the shape
Pen:
- Mode: various
line drawing modes
- Style: solid,
dotted or dashed lines
- Width: line
width of the shape.
Note: There is a pixel missing when forming
a gradient fill. To fill with a better gradient fill color, you
need to set the pen width 3 units or more to get a better fill.
