Let me know what you think! Thanks for reading. For more information on this, check out a file located in your Inkscape folder ( Inkscape > share > examples > gradient-mesh-experimental.svgz) which happens to be the inspiration for this tutorial. You can keep elaborating and interpolating to create even more advanced gradient meshes for advanced shapes. This is an awesome little hack to create a fake gradient mesh in Inkscape. Types of gradients There are two types of gradients: Linear gradients transition the color change from one point to another in a straight line. Visually, I cannot find them, so I'd like to just get rid of all of them, but since they are in use they are not removed by the 'clean-up document' action. I'm editing a SVG created by another program, and there's a lot of gradients.
How to use To invoke, either click the Gradient Tool icon or press Ctrl + F1. Beyond the Basics Delete all gradients (including used) 1. Select them both and head up to Object > Clip > Set to set the gradient.īelow is my final gradient mesh square. The gradient can be set in the Fill and in the Stroke Paint dialog to replace of any other type of coloration. Now, grab the original square and position it over the gradient. To actually create the gradient, go ahead and group all of the interpolated squares, then add some Blur until it looks smooth and natural. By default, Inkscape creates documents in a size that fits your operating system language (that is, in the US, you get a different default document than in Germany, for example). I’m not sure if there’s an easier way to do this all at once.
Then just simply repeat this for all four directions.Īnd then I ungrouped the interpolated sections and interpolated the rest individually (vertically).
