About gradients


    Gradients can be created in several patterns for more complex blending. Gradients include:

    No Gradient

    Applies no gradient.

    Linear

    Shades in a straight line from one edge of the object to the other.

    Burst

    Shades using symmetrical linear gradients on either side of the center.

    Double Burst

    Shades using two symmetrical burst gradients at right angles to each other, each moving from the center to the edge of the object. Double Burst gradients affect the exported file size, because they change vector graphics to bitmap.

    Radial

    Shades from the center to the edge in a circular pattern.
