I think that definition would work also for pixels outside the gradient circle, but opposite of the focal point from the center (case b). For case, c) I don't think there's a defined behavior. We could decide to fill the rest with the last stop color or we could decide to flip the content with of the half-plane separated by the normal to the center-focal vector. > > I've made two examples showing how the gradients are built. Have a look here: > http://concolato.wp.institut-telecom.fr/2011/08/04/svg-radialgradients/ I forgot to mention for the edge example, notice how Firefox behaves differently (even for points located on the left of the focal point) from other browsers (the black circle is not aligned with the gradient circles).
