Name
CanvasGradient: a color gradient for use in a canvas â Firefox 1.5, Safari 1.3, Opera 9: Object â CanvasGradient
Methods
-
addColorStop( ) Specifies a color and position for the gradient.
Description
A CanvasGradient object represents a color gradient that may be assigned to
both the strokeStyle and fillStyle properties of a
CanvasRenderingContext2D object. The createLinearGradient( ) and createRadialGradient( ) methods of
CanvasRenderingContext2D both return CanvasGradient objects.
Once you have created a CanvasGradient object, use addColorStop( ) to specify what colors
should appear at what positions within the gradient. Between the
positions you specify, colors are interpolated to create a smooth
gradient or fade. Transparent black stops are created implicitly at
the start and end points of the gradient.
