GradientSpreadMethod

Microsoft Silverlight will reach end of support after October 2021. Learn more.

Specifies how to draw the gradient outside a gradient brush's gradient vector or space.

value = "EnumerationValue"

Enumeration Values

Value	Description
Pad	The color values at the ends of the gradient vector fill the remaining space.
Reflect	The gradient is repeated in the reverse direction until the space is filled.
Repeat	The gradient is repeated in the original direction until the space is filled.

The following illustration shows the available spread methods and their effect on LinearGradientBrush and RadialGradientBrush. The red line indicates the gradient space. A LinearGradientBrush defines its gradient space with its StartPoint (LinearGradientBrush) and EndPoint (LinearGradientBrush) properties. A RadialGradientBrush defines its gradient space with its Center (RadialGradientBrush), RadiusX (RadialGradientBrush), and RadiusY (RadialGradientBrush) properties.
