I noticed that SVG does not seem to support midpoints for defining
gradient stops. It seems that defining a gradient natively in a vector
drawing package such as Adobe Illustrator, involves making use of a
combination of stops and midpoints.
I did notice adobe seem to have added some non-standard extensions for
the adobe svg plugin, namely the following: -
<a:midPointStop offset="0" style="stop-color:#74BF44"/>
<a:midPointStop offset="0.8475" style="stop-color:#74BF44"/>
<a:midPointStop offset="1" style="stop-color:#026E3B"/>
which is much closer to how you would define a curved gradient in a
typical drawing application, this is equivalent to 7 stops, of which
due to the discrete samples you actually loose information about the
original gradient curve.
<stop offset="0" style="stop-color:#74BF44"/>
<stop offset="0.4162" style="stop-color:#71BC43"/>
<stop offset="0.5965" style="stop-color:#68B143"/>
<stop offset="0.7311" style="stop-color:#5AA442"/>
<stop offset="0.8432" style="stop-color:#459241"/>
<stop offset="0.9401" style="stop-color:#297D3E"/>
<stop offset="1" style="stop-color:#026E3B"/>
Does anyone know if provision will be included in SVG at some stage
for defining gradients as midpoint stops? Or as I suspect there is a
very good reason this is not being pursued.
Thanks in advance,
David.
