Remarks
Use this class to describe the colors in a LinearGradientBrush or RadialGradientBrush.
Note that this class does not provide an opacity property; to make a GradientStop semi-transparent, set its GradientStop.Color property with a transparent Color.
Examples
The following example creates a linear gradient with four colors and uses it to paint a Rectangle.
The following illustration shows the results of the preceding code, with the highlighted gradient stops.
<StackPanel>
<!-- This rectangle is painted with a diagonal linear gradient. -->
<Rectangle Width="200" Height="100">
<Rectangle.Fill>
<LinearGradientBrush StartPoint="0,0" EndPoint="1,1">
<GradientStop Color="Yellow" Offset="0.0" />
<GradientStop Color="Red" Offset="0.25" />
<GradientStop Color="Blue" Offset="0.75" />
<GradientStop Color="LimeGreen" Offset="1.0" />
</LinearGradientBrush>
</Rectangle.Fill>
</Rectangle>
</StackPanel>
