SetGradient Method

The SetGradient method is used to set the gradient fill to custom colors. Use the Name property to set the gradient to a predefined color gradient.

object.SetGradient(Stops, Colors, Opacity)

Parameter	Type	Description
Stops	Variant	required, percent locations in the color gradient for each custom color
Colors	Variant	required, Grapher color namesor RGB color combination
Opacity	Variant	required, percent transparency for this color stop

This example shows how to set the gradient to custom colors for a rectangle.
