- Part 7: Gradient transparency Switch PDF backend to
krilla#5420 - Part 8: Gradient & Pattern AA in rasterized output
- Part 8: Additional gradient features:
- Hue rotation control
- Ability to control linear gradient as a line (start and end point instead of angle)
- Ability to control linear gradient start point
- Ability to deform radial and conical gradient (allowing for elongated shapes)
- Part 9: Gradients along a path (maybe)
The vast majority of those features (all of them in SVG) are available on my gradient branch. However, in this branch the layout engine is completely broken, which I have fixed in these PRs, but didn't bother to on my experimental branch.
The reason why gradients are split up is because part 1 and 2 already account for close to 5000 lines added, the size and complexity of gradients simply balloons when you consider that we support three different export targets, each with their own quirks and limitations that need to be worked around.
This is just a tracking issue I can point to in other gradient PRs ;)
