I used to use MicroGrafx Windows Draw 5 and some thing I used a number of times was colour gradients in drawings. Draw 5 was bit map and Inkscape is vector, so pardon me, I find myself a bit behind the times.
How do I create a circle with a colour fill from yellow at the top graduating to red at the bottom?
Sorry if this sounds a bit basic to some and I may be accused of being old and not keeping up with the times, BUT, it is causing me some grief at the moment as I also have personal time problems (I'm always at work and have little time for proper study. Can anyone help???
I'm writing a tutorial series for beginners. If you are amenable to reading and don't mind a didactic approach to things, then I have a few chapters online that might be relevant to your question about gradients. You can either Google Inkscape Roy (or Roy Inkscape). I worked out the SEO so the tutorial always floats to the very top of the listing. Anyhow, I introduce gradients in Tutorial 06 - Working with Layers, and build upon the technique in Tutorial 11 - Blending Shapes and Colors, Tutorial 13 A-C - Creating Airbrush Effects, Tutorial 14 C - Working with Brush Styling, and there's more in Tutorials 15 A-C and 16 A-C.
