The LinearGradientMode enumeration specifies the direction in which the change of color occurs for a linear gradient brush.

Syntax

typedef enum LinearGradientMode {
  LinearGradientModeHorizontal,
  LinearGradientModeVertical,
  LinearGradientModeForwardDiagonal,
  LinearGradientModeBackwardDiagonal
} ;

Constants
