GradientBrush Class
Microsoft Silverlight will reach end of support after October 2021. Learn more.
An abstract class that describes a gradient, composed of gradient stops. Classes that derive from GradientBrush describe different ways of interpreting gradient stops.

ColorInterpolationMode | Gets or sets a ColorInterpolationMode enumeration value that specifies how the gradient's colors are interpolated. |
|
Dispatcher | Gets the Dispatcher this object is associated with. (Inherited from DependencyObject.) |
|
GradientStops | Gets or sets the brush's gradient stops. |
|
MappingMode | Gets or sets a BrushMappingMode enumeration value that specifies whether the positioning coordinates of the gradient brush are absolute or relative to the output area. |
|
Opacity | Gets or sets the degree of opacity of a Brush. (Inherited from Brush.) |
|
RelativeTransform | Gets or sets the transformation that is applied to the brush using relative coordinates. (Inherited from Brush.) |
|
SpreadMethod | Gets or sets the type of spread method that specifies how to draw a gradient that starts or ends inside the bounds of the object to be painted. |
|
Transform | Gets or sets the transformation that is applied to the brush. (Inherited from Brush.) |
