Title: shapescript: add gradient to shape
Post by: bITs.EA on January 18, 2017, 03:22:58 am

Hi

Is it possible to add a gradient property to a "fill-command"? Nativeshapes have gradient in their color, but custom shapes don't...

Thanks

For my tests, shapes drawn by a top level shape are drawn with gradients, but subshapes they are disabled.

I noticed that something like this

Code: [Select]

shape main
{
    ellipse(0,0,100,100);
}
doesn't have a gradient fill, but if you put it inside a path

Code: [Select]

shape main
{
    startpath();
    ellipse(0,0,100,100);
    endpath();
    fillandstrokepath();
}
it does have a gradient fill.

Pure EAUI!

(at least it's not boring...  You never know what gotcha is round the next corner...)

Check! The startpath()/endpath() solution works like a charm.
