The line is like a hand-drawn line. It can be any shape, including looping and crossing itself. I'd like to be able to have it fade between colors along its length.
For now I've broken it into several pieces and colored them separately. It's not as perfect a solution as I'd like, but it'll do for now. It would be nice to be able to "set the vertexcolors of grc 1" with a list of RGB colors, just as you set the points of a grc to a list of x,y coords. For the future perhaps... ~ Chris Innanen ~ Nonsanity On Fri, Dec 31, 2010 at 4:32 PM, Scott Rossi <sc...@tactilemedia.com> wrote: > There's a strokeGradient that applies gradients to lines of objects, just > like the fillGradient.
