■ Normal Based on the angle between the vector from the camera to the object and the surface normal vector at the sample point. The leftmost flag of the gradient is 0 degrees; the rightmost flag is 90 degrees. ■ Pong A diagonal sweep that repeats in the middle. ■ Radial A radial transition of colors. ■ Spiral A smooth, circular transition of colors. ■ Sweep A linear sweep transition of colors. ■ Tartan A plaid. Interpolation Chooses the type of interpolation. The following Interpolation types are available. These affect the entire gradient. NOTE Gradients are ordered from left to right. The "next" flag is to the right of the current flag; the "previous" flag is to the left. Custom Sets an individual interpolation type for each flag. Right-click the flag to display the Flag Properties dialog on page 5846 and set the interpolation. Ease In Weighted more toward the next flag than the current flag. Ease In Out Weighted more toward the current flag than the next flag. Ease Out Weighted more toward the previous flag than the next flag. Linear Constant from one flag to the next. (Default.) Solid No interpolation. Transitions are a sharp line. Source Map Click to assign a map to a mapped gradient. The check box turns the map on or off. The Source Map controls are available only when Mapped is the chosen gradient type. Noise group Amount When nonzero, a random noise effect is applied to the gradient, based on the interaction of the gradient ramp colors (and maps, if present). The higher this value, the greater the effect. Range=0 to 1. Regular Generates plain noise. Basically the same as fractal noise with levels disabled (because Regular is not a fractal function). 2D Maps | 5845
