8/19/2023 0 Comments Inkscape gradient editorSince in my playing around with Inkscape gradients, I've seen them named anywhere between 10, it seems sort of unlikely that a gradient which starts with a fully opaque color, ending fully transparent could be defined by a range of only 4. Say for example the gradient is called #1234, one stop would be 1236 and the other 1238. But their number names are very close to the gradient name. This would lead me automatically to suspect that one stop defines one end of the gradient, and the other defines the other end. More Stops can be added, but these 2 cannot be deleted. Intuitive to me would be that these 1st 2 stops somehow define the gradient, because they cannot be deleted. In the Gradient Editor, there are 2 Stops, also named by 4 digit numbers, both very close to the name of the gradient. At this point, I notice in the toolbar which appears along the top of the main Inkscape window, that the gradient has been given a name, always a 4 digit number. I have learned how to apply a gradient to an object, and that a Stop seems to be the endpoint of a segment within a gradient.at least I'm pretty sure that's what it is Using the Object Fill and Stroke dialog, clicking on a gradient, and then the Edit button, opens the Gradient Editor dialog. So there are a few things that I have not been able to figure out by trial and error. Since I'm not a graphics professional or artist, things that might be intuitive for them, are not for me. That it would need to accomodate a whole lot of gradients.This is not so much a 'how do I do a certain effect' question, as it is just a basic 'how do I work with Inkscape gradients in general' question. To have a sample set that made it clear to anyone redesigining the dialog Part of the reasion I created a set of gradients for was Out from the task of selecting and applying a gradient. If we want a solution that will scale beyond a few dozen gradients I'mĬonvinced the task of creating or editing new gradients should be seperated
