Gradiator Description

The Gradiator application was developed to be a small, easy to use utility that will allow you to design gradients interactively.I must admit I got a basic understanding of Gradient Brushes and hurriedly started coding. But, I didn't really get a good understanding of Gradients until I started playing with this utility. At that point, I realized that I needed to go back and do some further research on the subject. So, I've been researching, upgrading, researching,...well you get the idea. And, since I was upgrading the Gradiator application, I thought I would relate what I learned while this research/upgrade process has been going on.I'm not going to go knee deep into explaining the graphics, GDI+, or even gradients; instead, I'm going to give a brief overview of each of the important concepts and then, I'll move on and and get into how to create the gradients that you see/have seen in this article. A lot of them were easy, some I stumbled on, and some I really had to scratch my head and just try different things, but overall, I've managed to create some pretty nice graphics and you can too. The first thing we need to do is get a basic understanding of the concepts, so this first section is devoted to that.Concepts:- Introduction to Gradients - Linear Gradient Brush - PathGradientBrush - Blending - Color Blending - Alpha Blending - Using Gradiator - An Example - References and Links
