 Linear: Creates a uniform distribution of opacity or color between the tags.
 Continuous: The opacity or color changes gradually between color or opacity tags.
Location: Sets the location of the selected gradient color or opacity tag, or spread
control.
Type: This pop-up menu allows you to choose a linear or radial gradient.
 Linear: Creates a linear gradient.
 Radial: Creates a radial gradient.
Angle: Available when Type is set to Linear, this dial/value slider changes the angle of
the gradient.
Additional Controls that Affect Gradient Fills
Although not part of the Gradient editor, two additional controls in the Face parameter
group allow you to further adjust a text gradient.
Opacity: This slider determines the opacity of the overall gradient. This control is
separate from the opacity controls in the Gradient editor, which control opacity within
the gradient.
Blur: Use the slider or value slider to blur the gradient as a whole. Blur is not applied
on a per-tag basis.
Important: The following sections assume that text is selected, and Gradient is chosen
from the “Fill with” pop-up menu in the Face parameter group.
