Does anyone know how to make gradients that work? (in Inkscape)
When I try, I sometimes the opposite of how it looks in Inkscape, and sometimes some transparency that reveals what is underneath the entire SVG knob even when its solid.
Is there a special workflow in Inkscape that will produce working gradients?
Stroke to Path and Object to Path are your friends for nanoVG work.
Multi-stop gradients seem iffy though.
Extension | Generate from path | Interpolate can make some interesting gradient effects out of arbitrary shapes:
But it does it by making extra shapes; so they’ll work just fine in nanoVG/Rack but you don’t want to go overboard or drawing performance will start to suck.
The reason I have not implemented gradients is because if you never use them (and don’t fake them as above), you designs will 100% always look better.
