Feature request: Gradient improvements

[marcoreni]

Hi all,

we're experimenting with the gradient feature and we'd like to have the ability to create oblique gradients, similar to the following image

For these we think we may need:

• a gravity point
• to be able to set "degrees" as directions

The image attached may be created as:

• gravity: south west
• degrees: 30

Hi @marcoreni!

I'm not sure how gravity can be used to build a gradient. I believe, the ability to use degrees as direction should be pretty enough to build the gradient from your example.

Hi @DarthSim ,

when using the gradient we currently have the direction of the gradient. If we use angles, we may need to set where the gradient is attached to.

In the following image I've drawn different scenarios based on the same "angle" - the red line represents the "gradient end". Do you think that start & stop params will be enough?

Do you think that start & stop params will be enough?

Exactly

[marcoreni]

Even better, one less parameter to handle! :)

The latest build allows using degrees (clockwise) as the gradient direction: https://docs.imgproxy.net/latest/usage/processing#gradient

Here's a reproduction of your example with gr:0.8:f00:31:0.62:0.88:
