I once suggested generalizing radial gradients to also allow conical and/or "spiral" gradients. Essentially the idea is that radial gradients give you the radius part of polar coordinates, while conical gradients are essentially based on the angle part. A scheme that combines the two would allow for a kind of spiral gradient. In terms of simulating them, apart from using meshes, there are also some filter techniques that can be used to get a decent (but not great) approximation: http://wiki.inkscape.org/wiki/index.php/Advanced_Gradients On 01/23/2014 04:45 PM, Paul LeBeau wrote: > Hi all > > Has the idea of adding conical gradients been discussed before? > > http://cdn.tutsplus.com/vector/uploads/legacy/qt/2011_QT/qt_98_mesh_plugin/0.jpg > > Given their ubiquity in vector editors, it would be strange if it > hasn't.
