Applies To

Tag Syntax

<v: element colors=" expression ">

Script Syntax

element .colors="expression"

expression=element.colors

Remarks

Used to define an array consisting of paired values of percentages (VgFraction) and color (VgColor). The array creates a blended fill using each point in the array, starting at 0% (defined by Color) and ending at 100% (defined by Color2). Intermediate colors along the way can be defined by assigning a color value to a percentage. The percent and color pair are not separated by a comma, but pairs are separated from each other by commas.
