This method returns a CanvasGradient object that represents a radial gradient that paints along the cone given by the circles represented by the arguments. The first three arguments define a circle with coordinates (x1,y1) and radius r1 and the second a circle with coordinates (x2,y2) and radius r2.
createRadialGradient(x0, y0, r0, x1, y1, r1)
Here are the parameter values of the createRadialGradient() method −
S.No | Parameter & Description |
---|---|
1 | x0x-coordinate- Starting point of the gradient |
2 | y0y- coordinate - Starting point of the gradient |
3 | r0Radius of the starting circle |
4 | x1x-coordinate - Ending point of the gradient |
5 | y1y- coordinate - Ending point of the gradient |
6 | r1Radius of the ending circle |
