Dialog ‘Gradient editor’

Function: The dialog is for setting the color gradient of visualization elements. If you define two colors, the color graduates between them. If you only select 1 color, the color graduates within this color through its brightness. The detailed settings are for a special specification of the initial position and the angle of the color gradient.

Call: Click in the value field of the property Gradient settings

Requirement: You have selected a visualization element in the editor that has the property Gradient settings.

Gradient Type
  • Linear
  • Radial
  • Axial: The color gradient runs along an axis, with the colors extending perpendicular to the axis on both sides.
Color 1 First color of the gradient.
Color 2 Second color of the gradient.
Transparency Transparency of the associated color. Permissible values: Integers in the value range from 255 to 0. 255: The color is opaque. 0: The color is fully transparent.
Standard linear

Requirement: Linear color gradient.

Standard direction of the linear color gradient.
Standard radial

Requirement: Radial color gradient.

Standard setting:
Standard axial

Requirement: Axial color gradient.

Direction of the color gradient
Angle (degrees): Requirement: Linear or Axial color gradient.
Center X (%):

Requirement: Radial color gradient.

X-position of the center point (0 – 100%)
Center Y (%):

Requirement: Radial color gradient.

Y-position of the center point (0 – 100%)
Use one color Color gradient between Color 1 and the same color with a different brightness.
Brightness

Requirement: The option Use one color is selected.

Setting from 0 (black) to 100 (white)
Use two colors Use two colors: color gradient between the two selected colors Color 1 and Color 2.
