The Color Gradient Designer is called from the Color panel. The Color Gradient is used to translate the brightness values of the texture or Generator function to a user defined set of colors.

The gradient is mapped on the texture

A gradient is defined by a series of control points, which have each a position and a color. Between the control points, the colors of the neighboring control points are interpolated, creating a smooth gradient.

Click somewhere on the gradient area to add a control point. The Color Selection Dialog will open to let you choose a color.

Use thePointer to move and select a control point.

To delete all control points, press the Clear button.

Use the Reduce button to optimize a gradient. It makes the number of control points be reduced by interpolating neighbored control points.
