The gradient tools create a gradual blend between multiple colors. You can choose from existing gradient fills or create your own.
Linear gradient
Shades from the starting point to the ending point in a straight line.
Radial gradient
Shades from the starting point to the ending point in a circular pattern.
Angle gradient
Shades in a counterclockwise sweep around the starting point.
Reflected gradient
Shades using symmetric linear gradients on either side of the starting point.
Diamond gradient
Shades from the starting point outward in a diamond pattern. The ending point defines one corner of the diamond.
