Scaling Gradients

[Scott Rossi]

Hi Alejandro:

Maybe the answer depends on how you're scaling the graphic.  I scale graphics that contain gradients all the time and the gradient scales with the graphic.

FWIW, the UI components in tmControl are all vector-based controls, with gradients -- no images (except for icons).

Hi all,

In principle, I posted this message in the message thread:
"The Screen Density Conundrum"

but, in retrospective, there is more probabiblity that
itwould get an answer, if I posted it
in a new thread...

Ideally, we should be able to use scalable vectors 
for the Interface. Icons, backgrounds, Text... 

A vector graphics interface created with all the excellent 
capabilities of vector graphics in this platform, would be 
a real delight to watch... 

In a quick test of scaling polygons with a gradient fill, 
the polygon scaled well, as expected, but the gradient 
just stay fixed in its place with the same original size.

If I scale the same vector polygon with the pointer tool, 
the gradient changes sizes and positions, to keep up 
proportional with the graphic. 

Does exists some way to replicate the pointer tool 
behavior with gradients (scaling them correctly) 
using only a script? 

Solving this could facilitate the use of vectors instead 
of images in many interface elements.
