  83. <h1 class="text-center">Create a Gradual Blend of Two Colors</h1>
  84. <p class="lead magick-description">An image gradient creates a gradual blend between two colors formed into a shape that is linear, circular, or ellipical.</p>
  85. <p>For a linear gradient, the operator is either:</p>
  86. <pre class="bg-light text-dark mx-4"><samp>gradient:
  87. gradient:<em>fromColor</em>
  88. gradient:<em>fromColor</em>-<em>toColor</em></samp></pre>
  89. <p>The default <em>fromcolor</em> is white and the <em>toColor</em> is black unless overridden, e.g., <samp>gradient:gray</samp> returns a gradient from gray to black.</p>
  90. <p> The for a radial gradient, the operator is either:</p>
  91. <pre class="bg-light text-dark mx-4"><samp>radial-gradient:
  92. radial-gradient:<em>fromColor</em>-<em>toColor</em> </samp></pre>
  93. <p>The default for a linear gradient has <em>fromColor</em> at the top of the image and <em>toColor</em> at the bottom of the image. Similarly, the default for a radial gradient has <em>fromColor</em> at the center of the image and <em>toColor</em> at the boundary of the image.</p>
  94. <p>Gradient colors may be any valid color defined per <a href="color.html" target="_blank">../www/color.html</a>. The named colors of black/white/grayXX and gray(XX[%]) are non-linear gray. For Linux systems, enclose rgb(a) and hex colors in quotes. Use double quotes, if using variables for the values.</p>
  95. <p>Here is an example linear (as opposed to radial) gradient:</p>
  96. <pre class="bg-light text-dark mx-4 cli"><samp>magick -size 256x256 gradient: linear_gradient.png
  97. magick -size 256x256 gradient:white-black linear_gradient.png
  98. </samp></pre>
  99. <p><img src="../images/gradients/linear_gradient.png" width="256" height="256" /></p>
  100. <p>If you want a radial gradient, try:</p>
  101. <pre class="bg-light text-dark mx-4 cli"><samp>magick -size 256x256 radial-gradient: radial_gradient.png
  102. magick -size 256x256 radial-gradient:white-black radial_gradient.png </samp></pre>
  103. <p><img src="../images/gradients/radial_gradient.png" width="256" height="256" /></p>
  104. <p>If you want non-linear grayscale gradients, then add -colorspace RGB -colorspace gray
  105. before saving the output. For example:<p>
  106. <pre class="bg-light text-dark mx-4 cli"><samp>magick -size 256x256 gradient: linear_gradient.png
  107. magick -size 256x256 gradient:white-black -colorspace RGB -colorspace gray linear_linear_gradient.png </samp></pre>
  108. <pre class="bg-light text-dark mx-4 cli"><samp>magick -size 256x256 radial-gradient: radial_gradient.png
  109. magick -size 256x256 radial-gradient:white-black -colorspace RGB -colorspace gray linea_radial_gradient.png </samp></pre>
  110. <p>Gradients are affected by these defines:</p>

  128. they differ, then the shape will be an ellipse. The default values are the
  129. maximum of the half width and half height of the image.</td>

  137. orientation.</td>

  159. radial gradient. The Minimum option draws a circular radial gradient
  160. even for rectangular shaped images of radius equal to the smaller of the
  161. half-width and half-height of the image. The Diagonal option draws a
  162. circular radial gradient even for rectangular shaped images of radius equal
  163. to the half-diagonal of the image. The Ellipse options draws an elliptical
  164. radial gradient for rectangular shaped images of radii equal to half the

  168. <p>Examples</p>
  169. <p>The default linear gradient may also be generated in any of the following ways (or by reversing the direction and swapping <em>fromColor</em> and <em>toColor</em>):</p>
