Gradient.property – PB Docs 2021

property

A property for the gradient. Properties and their
settings are listed in the table that follows.

value

The value to be assigned to the property. For
gradient properties, value can be a quoted DataWindow
expression.

Angle

An integer indicating the angle in degrees (values
are 0 to 360) used to offset the color and transparency
gradient. This property is used only when datawindow.brushmode
takes values of 3 or 4.

Painter: Background tab,
Gradient group.

Color

The gradient color of the DataWindow. This property
is only in effect when datawindow.brushmode takes values 1
through 5.

Painter: Background tab, Gradient
group

Focus

An integer in the range 0 to 100, specifying the
distance (as a percentage) from the center where the background
color is at its maximum. (For example, if the radial gradient is
used and the value is set to 0, the color will be at the center
of the background; if the value is set to 100, the color will be
at the edges of the background.)

Repetition.Mode

Specifies the mode for determining the number of
gradient transitions.

Permitted values and their
meanings are:

Repetition.Count

An integer specifying the number of gradient
transitions for background color and transparency. A value of 0
indicates 1 transition. A value of 3 indicates 4 transitions.
This property is used only when the datawindow.brushmode
property takes values from 1 to 4 and when the when the
datawindow.gradient.repetition.mode value is 0 (by count). The
maximum is 10,000.

Repetition.Length

A long specifying the number of gradient
transitions. This property is used only when the
datawindow.brushmode property takes values from 1 to 4 and the
datawindow.gradient.repetition.mode property takes the value of
1 (by length). The units for the length that you assign for
gradient transitions are set by the datawindow.units
property.

group.

Scale

An integer in the range 0 to 100 specifying the
rate of transition to the gradient color (as a
percentage).

group

Spread

An integer in the range 0 to 100 indicating the
contribution of the second color to the blend (as a
percentage).

group

Tranparency

An integer in the range 0 to 100, where 0 means
that the secondary (gradient) background is opaque and 100 that
it is completely transparent. The gradient defines transitions
between the primary and secondary transparency
settings.
