Transforming Gradient Fills
FL 2.3
After you create a gradient fill, you can transform it by adjusting the size, rotation, width, or center of the fill with the Gradient Transform tool (formerly called the Fill Transform tool). For a radial gradient, you can now adjust the focal point (center) of a gradient fill applied to an object. You can also use the Gradient Transform tool to modify a bitmap fill.
Adjust a Gradient Fill
- Click the Gradient Transform tool on the Tools panel.
Click the gradient fill to select it.
A bounding box appears around it.
Position the pointer over an editing handle on the bounding box to identify its function.
- Center point. Four-way arrow.
- Focal point. Inverted triangle.
- Size. Circle with an arrow.
- Rotation. Four arrows in the shape of a circle.
- Width. Double-ended arrow.
Click and drag an editing handle to adjust the gradient fill.
