Overview: Refer to Gradients and Patterns.

Remarks

(Persistent property, available at design time) Works with related properties to specify a gradient color for use when you implement a transitional paint effect or when you draw a three-dimensional shape or text object.

A gradient color starts as one color and ends as another, with the specified number of transitional colors from start to end. Related properties work together as follows:

GradientStyle specifies the style.
GradientStartColor specifies the starting color.
GradientEndColor specifies the ending color.
GradientSteps specifies the number of colors from start to end.
