Gradient

Menu Path : Operator > Inline > Gradient

The Gradient inline Operator allows you to store an instance of a Gradient. This is one of the Visual Effect Graph's base Types. To modify a value in this inline Operator, either set the value explicitly in the Operator body, or connect it to a compatible output.

You can use inline Operators to:

• Store constant values (which you can also convert to Properties).
• Be the destination for a combination of values from different inputs. In this case, the Operator acts as a "builder" which takes individual values and outputs a coherent object.
• Cast between compatible types.
• Perform redirections in large graphs (redirect only one long connection instead of multiple ones).

Operator properties
