| <p class="lead magick-description">An image gradient creates a gradual blend between two colors formed into a shape that is linear, circular, or ellipical.</p> |
| |
| <p>For a linear gradient, the operator is either:</p> |
| |
| <pre> |
| gradient: |
| gradient:color1-color2 |
| </pre> |
| |
| <p> The for a radial gradient, the operator is either:</p> |
| |
| <pre> |
| radial-gradient: |
| radial-gradient:color1-color2 |
| </pre> |
| |
| <p> In the above, color1 is the fromColor and color2 is the toColor, as described in more detail below. The default is white for color1 and black for color2, i.e., white-black.</p> |
| |
| <p>The default for a linear gradient has color1 at the top of the image and color2 at the bottom of the image. Similarly, the default for a radial gradient has color1 at the center of the image and color2 at the boundary of the image.</p> |
| |
| <p>Gradient colors may be any valid color defined per <a href="https://www.imagemagick.org/script/color.html" target="_blank">https://www.imagemagick.org/script/color.html</a>. The named colors of black/white/grayXX are non-linear gray gradients; whereas gray(XX[%]) is a linear gray gradient. For Unix systems, enclose rgb(a) and hex colors in quotes. Use double quotes, if using variables for the values.</p> |
| |
| <p>Here is an example linear gradient:</p> |
| |
| <pre> |
| convert -size 256x256 gradient: linear_gradient.png |
| convert -size 256x256 gradient:white-black linear_gradient.png |
| </pre> |
| <p><img src="../images/gradients/linear_gradient.png" width="256" height="256" /></p> |
| |
| <p>If you want a radial gradient, try:</p> |
| |
| <pre> |
| convert -size 256x256 radial-gradient: radial_gradient.png |
| convert -size 256x256 radial-gradient:white-black radial_gradient.png |
| </pre> |
| <p><img src="../images/gradients/radial_gradient.png" width="256" height="256" /></p> |
| |
| <p>As of IM 6.9.2.5, gradients have been enhanced through the use of several -defines.</p> |
| |
| <table class="table table-condensed table-striped"> |
| <tr> |
| <td><code>-define gradient:vector=<var>x1</var>,<var>y1</var>, <var>x2</var>,<var>y2</var></code></td> |
| <td>Specifies the direction of the linear gradient going from vector1 |
| (x1,y1) to vector2 (x2,y2). Color1 (fromColor) will be located at vector |
| position x1,y1 and color2 (toColor) will be located at vector position |
| x2,y2.</td> |
| </tr> |
| |
| <tr> |
| <td><code>-define gradient:center=<var>x</var>,<var>y</var></code></td> |
| <td>Specifies the coordinates of the center point for the radial gradient. |
| The default is the center of the image.</td> |
| </tr> |
| |
| <tr> |
| <td><code>-define gradient:radii=<var>x</var>,<var>y</var></code></td> |
| <td>Specifies the x and y radii of the gradient. If the x radius and the y |
| radius are equal, the shape of the radial gradient will be a circle. If |
| they differ, then the shape will be an ellipse. The default values are the |
| maximum of the half width and half height of the image.</td> |
| </tr> |
| |
| <tr> |
| <td><code>-define gradient:angle=<var>angle in degrees</var></code></td> |
| <td>For a linear gradient, this specifies the direction of the gradient |
| going from color1 to color2 in a clockwise positive manner relative to |
| north (up). For a radial gradient, this specifies the rotation of the |
| gradient in a clockwise positive manner from its normal X-Y |
| orientation.</td> |
| </tr> |
| |
| <tr> |
| <td><code>-define gradient:bounding-box=<var>width</var>x<var>height</var>+<var>x</var>+<var>y</var></code></td> |
| <td>Limits the gradient to a larger or smaller region than the image |
| dimensions. If the region defined by the bounding box is smaller than the |
| image, then color1 will be the color of the background.</td> |
| </tr> |
| </table> |
| |
| |
| <p>We also support two convenience defines for setting the linear gradient direction and the radial gradient shape.</p> |
| |
| <table class="table table-condensed table-striped"> |
| <tr> |
| <td><code>-define gradient:direction=<em>{NorthWest, North, Northeast, West, East, SouthWest, South, SouthEast}</em></code></td> |
| <td>Specifies the direction of the linear gradient towards the |
| top/bottom/left/right or diagonal corners.</td> |
| </tr> |
| |
| <tr> |
| <td><code>-define gradient:extent=<em>{Circle, Diagonal, Ellipse, Maximum, Minimum}</em></code></td> |
| <td>Specifies the shape of an image centered radial gradient. Circle and |
| Maximum draw a circular radial gradient even for rectangular shaped images |
| of radius equal to the larger of the half-width and half-height of the |
| image. The Circle and Maximum options are both equivalent to the default |
| radial gradient. The Minimum option draws a circular radial gradient |
| even for rectangular shaped images of radius equal to the smaller of the |
| half-width and half-height of the image. The Diagonal option draws a |
| circular radial gradient even for rectangular shaped images of radius equal |
| to the half-diagonal of the image. The Ellipse options draws an elliptical |
| radial gradient for rectangular shaped images of radii equal to half the |
| width and half the height of the image.</td> |
| </tr> |
| </table> |
| |
| <p>Examples</p> |
| |
| <p>The default linear gradient may also be generated in any of the following ways (or by reversing the direction and swapping color1 and color2):</p> |
| |
| <pre> |
| convert -size 256x128 -define gradient:direction=north gradient:black-white linear_gradient_default.png |
| convert -size 256x128 -define gradient:angle=0 gradient:black-white linear_gradient_default.png |
| </pre> |
| <p><img src="../images/gradients/linear_gradient_default.png" width="256" height="128" /></p> |
| |
| <p>The equivalent of </p> |
| |
| <pre> |
| convert -size 128x256 gradient: -rotate 90 linear_gradient_east.png |
| </pre> |
| |
| <p>can be generate by either of the following (or by reversing the direction and swapping color1 and color2):</p> |
| |
| <pre> |
| convert -size 256x128 -define gradient:direction=east gradient:black-white linear_gradient_east.png |
| convert -size 256x128 -define gradient:angle=90 gradient:black-white linear_gradient_east.png |
| </pre> |
| <p><img src="../images/gradients/linear_gradient_east.png" width="256" height="128" /></p> |
| |
| |
