    Assembly: DevExpress.RichEdit.v25.1.Core.dll

    NuGet Package: DevExpress.RichEdit.Core

    #Declaration

    GradientFill GradientFill { get; }

    #Property Value

    Type Description
    GradientFill

    An object that stores gradient fill settings.

    #Remarks

    Call the Shape.Line.Fill.SetGradientFill method to apply a gradient of two or more colors to a line or a shape’s border. The GradientFill property allows you to access and change the applied gradient:

    The example below shows how to apply a gradient of three colors to a rectangle’s outline.

    Rich_ShapeLine_ComplexGradientFill

    // Create a rectangle.
    Shape rectangle = document.Shapes.InsertShape(document.Range.Start, ShapeGeometryPreset.Rectangle, new RectangleF(300, 200, 500, 300));
    rectangle.Fill.SetNoFill();
    // Format the rectangle's outline.
    ShapeLine border = rectangle.Line;
    // Apply a linear gradient to the outline.
    border.Fill.SetGradientFill(GradientType.Linear, Color.FromArgb(0x1B, 0x98, 0xE0), Color.FromArgb(0xFF, 0x16, 0x54));
    // Access gradient fill settings.
    GradientFill gradientFill = border.Fill.GradientFill;
    // Add another gradient stop.
    gradientFill.GradientStops.Add(new GradientStop(0.5f, Color.FromArgb(0xF3, 0xFF, 0xBD)));
    // Specify the gradient angle.
    gradientFill.Angle = 30;
    // Set the line width.
    border.Thickness = 6;
