As such the note should be amended to explicitly refer to linear gradients, or clarify how repeating-radial-gradients can be simulated with background-repeat more explicitly. > I thought I had answered that. The note was meant to imply that both were unnecessary. Repeating-linear-gradient is unnecessary because 'background-repeat' can handle most use cases with less redundancy, and repeating-radial-gradients never seemed to have a strong use case at all. I would agree that if we need one enough, we should have the other too. And if we cut one (repeating-linear), we should cut the other (repeating-radial). > -Brian > >> -----Original Message----- >> From: Alan Gresley [mailto:alan@css-class.com] >> Sent: Friday, May 13, 2011 11:42 PM >> To: Brian Manthos >> Cc: Brad Kemper; www-style list; Simon Fraser; Tab Atkins Jr. >> Subject: Radial Gradients and background-repeat (Was Re: Automatic spec >> annotations) >> >> On 11/05/2011 5:02 AM, Brian Manthos wrote: >>> Speaking of background-repeat vs. repeating- … >>> >>> >>> # Repeating gradients could potentially be done by hooking into >>> ‘background-repeat’, >>> >>> This line in the spec needs updating so that it explicitly refers to >>> *linear* gradients.
