CanvasGradient

The CanvasGradient interface represents an opaque object describing a gradient. It is returned by the methods CanvasRenderingContext2D.createLinearGradient() or CanvasRenderingContext2D.createRadialGradient().

Properties

Representing an opaque object, there is no exposed property.

Methods

There is no inherited method.

CanvasGradient.addColorStop()
Adds a new stop, defined by an offset and a color, to the gradient. If the offset is not between 0 and 1 an INDEX_SIZE_ERR is raised, if the color can't be parsed as a CSS <color>, a SYNTAX_ERR is raised.
