Cairo.LinearGradient (gb.cairo)

Static Function LinearGradient ( X0 As Float, Y0 As Float, X1 As Float, Y1 As Float, Colors As Float[][] ) As CairoPattern

Creates a new linear gradient Cairo pattern along the line defined by (X0, Y0) and (X1, Y1), and using color stops defined by the Colors argument.

  • X0 : x coordinate of the start point.

  • Y0 : y coordinate of the start point.

  • X1 : x coordinate of the end point.

  • Y1 : y coordinate of the end point.

  • Colors : an array of color stops.

Each color stop is defined by an array of Float, having the form [ OffSet, Red, Green, Blue ] or [ OffSet, Red, Green, Blue, Alpha ].
The offset value is the relative position of the color stop between 0.0 and 1.0.

The colors are relative values between 0.0 and 1.0.
The coordinates here are in pattern space. For a new pattern, pattern space is identical to user space, but the relationship between the spaces can be changed by setting the CairoPattern.Matrix property.
