Ramps Settings
 
 
 

The Colour and Alpha ramps are available for Directional, Radial, and Spline gradients.

Colour Ramp
Displays the gradations of the gradient colours. The triangles below the ramp represent each color in the gradient. You can add more colours to your gradient pattern.

A selected triangle’s colour is displayed in the colour pot to the right of the ramp, and its position is displayed in the Position field. Also, when selecting a triangle, a smaller triangle appears representing the mid point between the colour and the next triangles’ colour. You can move the triangles gesturally to achieve different gradations, and move the mid point triangle to shift the weight between the colours.

Add button
Adds a new colour triangle to the right of the currently selected triangle. Press Ctrl while clicking add to clone the selected triangle colour.
Delete button
Deletes the selected triangle.

NoteThe Alpha ramp under the Colour ramp is identical in functionality, except that it displays gradations in gradient transparency.
