Editing Gradients Using the Edit Line

To display a Gradient Editing Line in the object where the gradient is applied, click the Edit Gradient button in the Fill/Stroke Editor - Fill tab.

With your mouse, you can do any of the following:

• Drag a color from the swatch table onto an existing color icon to change its color in the gradient.
• Drag a color from the swatch table onto the blank space between color icons to add a new color to the gradient.

  A "+" indicator will appear at the base of the Fill icon when you are close enough to the Gradient Editing Line to add the new color.

• Click and drag an intermediate color icon to the left or right to reposition it in the gradient.
• Hold Ctrl and drag a color icon to create a copy of the dragged color.
• Click and drag the Start and End color icons to change the gradient's size and angle.

  The Gradient Editing Line can be placed outside the object.

To turn off the Gradient Editing Line, click the Edit Gradient button (or press Esc on the keyboard).
