linearGradient()

Syntax

linearGradient(
   id STRING,
   x1 STRING,
   y1 STRING,
   x2 STRING,
   y2 STRING,
   spreadMethod STRING,
   gradientTransform STRING,
   gradientUnits STRING )
  RETURNS om.DomNode

1. id is the SVG object identifier.
2. x1 defines the X coordinate of the linear gradient start point.
3. y1 defines the Y coordinate of the linear gradient start point.
4. x2 defines the X coordinate of the linear gradient end point.
5. y2 defines the Y coordinate of the linear gradient end point.
6. spreadMethod defines how the gradient is spread out through the shape.
7. gradientTransform defines the gradient transformation.
8. gradientUnits defines the coordinate system to be used.

Usage

This function creates a "linearGradient" SVG DOM element from the parameters.

A SVG "linearGradient" element can be used to define fill colors of shapes.

The element must contain "stop" elements that can be created with the stop function.

The resulting gradient definition can be added to a "defs" SVG DOM element.
