But I think another option would be an angle with *zero* points, where the points are implicitly the corners of the background positioning area, and which otherwise matches your formula. If that meets the use cases for angle gradients than I think having zero points would be simpler than having two. The question is what those use cases are, exactly. -David -- L.
