Yeah, gradient fills are still to be implemented.

Attach a sample file, please

Not sure if this feature is still being considered, but I had a need for gradients as well.

Please implement retention, creation, and style copy of gradient fills!

@OkumaScott This is open source software. If you want a feature implemented, submit a PR. We are currently 2 developers (with families and busy day jobs) and the OpenXML specification is massive.

@igitur Woah, that's some pretty strong language there in that article.

Here's a working example I threw together of how to do Gradient Fills in OpenXML.

Before a pull request can be made, someone needs to figure out how to read gradient fills.
This example just creates a new gradient fill and replaces an existing solid color fill.

Maybe I'll give it a go when I've got some free time.

I like this one better.

This is a story about four people named Everybody, Somebody, Anybody and Nobody. There was an important job to be done and Everybody was sure that Somebody would do it. Anybody could have done it, but Nobody did it. Somebody got angry about that, because it was Everybody’s job. Everybody thought Anybody could do it, but Nobody realized that Everybody wouldn’t do it. It ended up that Everybody blamed Somebody when Nobody did what Anybody could have.
