The tool lets you fill the current layer or active selection area with a color gradient.


YoupiPaint supports 3 types of gradients:

•linear gradient: interpolates colors between a starting point and an end point

•radial gradient: interpolates colors on a circle between a focal point and an endpoint

•Conical gradient: Interpolates colors around a central point


It is also possible to repeat or reflect the gradient by defining the propagation mode of the gradient:

•propagation on the edges

•propagation by repetition

•propagation by reflection



The color gradation is defined by 2 or more control points on the segment linking the first to the last point.



To add a control point, click the segment while holding down the Control key.


The control points can be moved to the segment. To move a point drag and drop with the mouse or stylus.


Each checkpoint is associated with a color of the gradient. To set the color associated with a control point, select the control point by clicking it and select a color with the color panel or palettes.


To associate a transparent color to the control point, select it and click the button of the toolbar.

Allows you to transfer the gradient in the current layer. If a selection is active, only the part included in the selection is transferred.


Transfer can also be performed by pressing the Enter key.

Deletes the selected point.


The point can also be deleted by pressing the Control + Delete keys.

Resets the control points and colors of the gradient.

Allows you to set a transparent color (no color) for the selected control point.
