Predefined gradients available for use.

public static readonly Dictionary<string, ColorGradient> Predefined

Field Value

Dictionary<string, ColorGradient>

Methods

FromColors(params Color[])

Creates a gradient from a sequence of colors.

public static ColorGradient FromColors(params Color[] colors)

Parameters

colors Color[]

Colors to use as gradient stops (minimum 2 required)

Returns

ColorGradient

New ColorGradient instance

Interpolate(double)

Gets a color at a specific position in the gradient.

public Color Interpolate(double normalizedValue)

Parameters

normalizedValue double

Position in gradient (0.0 = first color, 1.0 = last color)

Returns

Color

Interpolated color at the specified position

Parse(string?)

Parses a gradient specification string. Supports predefined names (cool, warm, spectrum, grayscale), arrow notation (blue→cyan→green), and :reverse suffix.

public static ColorGradient? Parse(string? spec)

Parameters

spec string

Gradient specification (e.g., "cool", "blue→cyan", "warm:reverse")

Returns

ColorGradient

Parsed ColorGradient, or null if parsing fails

Reverse()

Returns a new gradient with reversed color order.

public ColorGradient Reverse()

Returns

ColorGradient

New ColorGradient with colors in reverse order
