Properties

  Name Description
Public propertySupported by Silverlight for Windows Phone ColorInterpolationMode Gets or sets a ColorInterpolationMode enumeration value that specifies how the gradient's colors are interpolated. (Inherited from GradientBrush.)

Public propertySupported by Silverlight for Windows Phone EndPoint Gets or sets the ending two-dimensional coordinates of the linear gradient.
Public propertySupported by Silverlight for Windows Phone GradientStops Gets or sets the brush's gradient stops. (Inherited from GradientBrush.)
Public propertySupported by Silverlight for Windows Phone MappingMode Gets or sets a BrushMappingMode enumeration value that specifies whether the positioning coordinates of the gradient brush are absolute or relative to the output area. (Inherited from GradientBrush.)
Public propertySupported by Silverlight for Windows Phone Opacity Gets or sets the degree of opacity of a Brush. (Inherited from Brush.)
Public propertySupported by Silverlight for Windows Phone RelativeTransform Gets or sets the transformation that is applied to the brush using relative coordinates. (Inherited from Brush.)
Public propertySupported by Silverlight for Windows Phone SpreadMethod Gets or sets the type of spread method that specifies how to draw a gradient that starts or ends inside the bounds of the object to be painted. (Inherited from GradientBrush.)
Public propertySupported by Silverlight for Windows Phone StartPoint Gets or sets the starting two-dimensional coordinates of the linear gradient.
Public propertySupported by Silverlight for Windows Phone Transform Gets or sets the transformation that is applied to the brush. (Inherited from Brush.)

Remarks

A LinearGradientBrush paints an area with a linear gradient. A linear gradient defines a gradient along a line. The line's end points are defined by the StartPoint and EndPoint properties of the linear gradient. A LinearGradientBrush brush paints its GradientStops along this line.

The default linear gradient is diagonal. In the default, the StartPoint of a linear gradient is a Point with value 0,0, the upper-left corner of the area being painted, and its EndPoint is a Point with value 1,1, the lower-right corner of the area being painted. The colors in the resulting gradient are interpolated along the diagonal path.

The following illustration shows a diagonal gradient. A line was added to highlight the interpolation path of the gradient from the start point to the end point.

The next illustration shows the same linear gradient, but with highlighted gradient stops.

It is possible to specify a gradient axis that does not completely fill area being painted. When this occurs, the SpreadMethod property determines how the remaining area is painted.

Examples

The following example creates a linear gradient with four colors and uses it to paint a Rectangle.

<StackPanel>
  <!-- This rectangle is painted with a vertical linear gradient. -->
  <Rectangle Width="200" Height="100">
    <Rectangle.Fill>
      <LinearGradientBrush StartPoint="0.5,0" EndPoint="0.5,1">
        <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>

The following illustration shows the resulting gradient. The gradient axis is marked with a dashed line, and the gradient stops are marked with circles.
