Jacques,

If you go to "Rev Online" under user mcgrath3 I have a stack "Gradient lab"

Open it and select the top square with the selection tool. Open the Properties Inspector for that object and switch to Gradient in the pop- up. Now when you make changes graphically within the square you can hit update and see the corresponding numerical equivalents of the changes.

This helped me understand the From To Via aspects of Gradients.

Hello the Gurus

I'm new to gradients... and for any reason, I'm not able to get the keys of the Fillgradient property of such-and-such graphic to analyse it in details. My main problem just now is: what kind of coordinates the properties hereunder are using ? It would just be fantastic if they where graphic-centered coordinates, but probably they are windows coordinates... Please confirm (and I would very happily welcome additional information). Dictionnary information is:

fillGradient["from"]
        A coordinate specifying the starting point of the gradient

fillGradient["to"]            
        A coordinate specifying the end point of the gradient

fillGradient["via"]           
A coordinate specifying the intermediate point of the gradient (affects scaling and shearing of the gradient)

Very concise...

If you are curious (you ARE, usually), I'm wanting some precisions to use gradients to adjust the light-shadow (night-day) areas of the earth and the moon running around each other and around the sun in a little application demonstrating the components of sea tides. Yes, even land-locked Swiss biologists deal with maritime problems ! - although our local heroes have had a bad start in the "Vendée Globe" .o(

Thank you in advance
