Definition:
In graphic design, gradient (or a color gradient) is a
range of colors arranged linearly with the intention to visually give a smooth
and gradual transition between two or more colors.1 Most photo editing software
so allow Simple gradients that you fill shapes and contours.
In computer software, gradients are formed through a
progression of colors that operate in the color space (RGB or CMYK usually)
from the first to the second, which is progressively reducing the percentage of
the first color and increases in the same proportion as the percentage of the
second color.
It is also possible to generate gradients in the alpha
channel, which allows a transition from a solid color to any transparency.
GRADIENT LINEAR
An axial gradient colored (aka linear gradient) is defined
by two points and a color at each point. The color range along the imaginary
line through these points is calculated using linear interpolation, extending
perpendicular to the line.
In digital imaging software, colors are typically
interpolated RGB color space, often using gamma understanding.
Modern internet browsers and the CSS and SVG, 2
technologies allow generating a linear gradients website automatically without
resorting to photo software.
RADIAL GRADIENT
A radial gradient is defined as a circle, starting
with a color on the edge and is gradually shifting to a second color to the
center.
Intermediate colors are calculated by linear
interpolation based on the distance of that color to the center of the circle.
The web CSS and SVG latest technologies also allow
automatically generate radial gradients without using external photo editing
programs.
