All graphics with an interior, including Text Boxes, may have a Gradient Fill. The parameters that control the angle and focal location of the Gradient Fill pattern are found on the Gradient Fill Panel. To show this panel select "Gradient Fill" from the Tools Menu which is on the Main Menu. If your goal is to simply add or change the color of a graphic use the Style Panel which defines a graphic's fill color. Gradient FIll is "turned off" by selecting None for the Shape parameter. A graphic doesn't need to be formally closed (like a rectangle or circle) to accept "Gradient Fill". All Bezier Curves accept Gradient Fill, a virtual straight line connects the start and end points to set the bounds of the fill color. Text boxes accept fill too.
The Color and Convergence parameters have effect on the appearance of a Gradient FIll pattern. The examples to the right demonstrates a few possibilities for using the Location parameters for Gradient Fill. |
