Flexible Gradients

[mubaris]

Right now, the user can only use pre-defined 2-color gradients. We need the following requirements

• Export and gradient datatype, so that user can create their own gradients.
  • Redefine svg.OffColor as aurora.Color. Only then the user will have access to it.
  • Instead of two field struct, gradient should be a slice of svg.OffColor / aurora.Color. This way user can create a gradient of more than 2 colors.

I'd like to take this

[pani-vishal]

How do I redefine svg.Offcolor? By writing this? type Color svg.Offcolor? Because if I do that... canvas.LinearGradient() wont accept type Color.

[mubaris]

type Color svg.OffColor Do this, then in canvas.LinearGradient use type assertion to convert back to svg.OffColor

Ohhk thanks! Got it

[pani-vishal]

Is it fine if the user selects a gradient in the program he/she is writing? Like: lg = aurora.Gradient[5] or creating his own gradient and passing it in Create function?

[mubaris]

They have to create their Gradient. That's the point

Okay thanks!
