The (CenterX, CenterY) coordinates define the center point of the gradient. The center point will only be used if the gradient type requires it (such as the radial type). By default, the center point is set to 50%.

The colour value in this field is applicable only when a gradient is in clip-mode - by specifying the VSPREAD::CLIP flag in SpreadMethod. By default, this field has an alpha value of 0 to ensure that nothing is drawn outside the initial bounds of the gradient. Setting any other colour value here will otherwise fill-in those areas.

The Colour value is defined in floating-point RGBA format, using a range of 0 - 1.0 per component.

An alternative to defining colour Stops in a gradient is available in the form of named colourmaps. Declaring a colourmap in this field will automatically populate the gradient with the colours defined in the map.

We currently support the following established colourmaps from the matplotlib and seaborn projects: cmap:crest, cmap:flare, cmap:icefire, cmap:inferno, cmap:magma, cmap:mako, cmap:plasma, cmap:rocket, cmap:viridis.

The use of colourmaps and custom stops are mutually exclusive.

By default, gradients are rendered using the standard RGB colour space and alpha blending rules. Changing the colour space to LINEAR_RGB will force the renderer to automatically convert sRGB values to linear RGB when blending.

Dimension flags that indicate whether field values are fixed or scaled are defined here.

If a radial gradient has a defined focal point (by setting FocalX and FocalY) then the FocalRadius can be used to adjust the size of the focal area. The default of zero ensures that the focal area matches that defined by Radius, which is the standard maintained by SVG.

The FocalRadius value has no effect if the gradient is linear.

The (FocalX, FocalY) coordinates define the focal point for radial gradients. If left undefined, the focal point will match the center of the gradient.

The ID field is provided for the purpose of SVG support. Where possible, we recommend that you use the existing object name and automatically assigned ID's for identifiers.

All transforms that have been applied to the gradient can be read from the Matrices field. Each transform is represented by a VectorMatrix structure, and are linked in the order in which they were applied to the gradient.

This field assigns a numeric ID to a vector. Alternatively it can also reflect a case-sensitive hash of the ID field if that has been defined previously.

If NumericID is set by the client, then any value in ID will be immediately cleared.

The radius of the gradient can be defined as a fixed unit or scaled relative to its container. A default radius of 50% (0.5) applies if this field is not set.

The Radius value has no effect if the gradient is linear.

By default, the colours generated for a gradient will be spaced for a smooth transition between stops that maximise resolution. The resolution can be reduced by setting the Resolution value to a fraction between 0 and 1.0.

This results in the colour values being averaged to a single value for every block of n colours, where n is the value 1 / (1 - Resolution).

Resolution is at its maximum when this value is set to 1 (the default).

SpreadMethod determines what happens when the first cycle of gradient colours is exhausted and needs to begin again. The default setting is VSPREAD::PAD.

The colours that will be used for drawing a gradient are defined by the Stops array. At least two stops are required to define a start and end point for interpolating the gradient colours.

This read-only field indicates the total number of stops that have been defined in the Stops array.

A transform can be applied to the gradient by setting this field with an SVG compliant transform string.

The type of the gradient to be drawn is specified here.

The default coordinate system for gradients is BOUNDING_BOX, which positions the gradient around the vector that references it. The alternative is USERSPACE, which positions the gradient scaled to the current viewport.

For linear gradients, the (X1, Y1) field values define the starting coordinate for mapping linear gradients. The gradient will be drawn from (X1, Y1) to (X2, Y2). Coordinate values can be expressed as units that are scaled to the target space.

For contour gradients, X1 is used as the floor for the gradient colour values and X2 acts as a multiplier. X1 has a range of 0 < X1 < X2 and X2 has a range of .01 < X2 < 10.

The (X1, Y1) field values define the starting coordinate for mapping linear gradients. Other gradient types ignore these values. The gradient will be drawn from (X1, Y1) to (X2, Y2).

Coordinate values can also be expressed as units that are scaled to the target space.
