Max number of colors on a gradient

[Alejandro Tejada]

Hi All,

I was testing the practical limitations
of svg and LiveCode graphics and
noticed that a svg with 1024 gradients
displayed fine in the browser, but shows
a lot of banding, moire and noise
within LiveCode.

Very similar to this image:

According to SKIA, How many colors
could we add safely to a gradient?
What are the practical limits
of this feature?
