Syntax

Visual Basic
C#

'Declaration
 
Public Overloads Sub FillRectangleGradient( _
   ByVal start As Color, _
   ByVal center As Color _
)

public void FillRectangleGradient( 
   Color start,
   Color center
)

Parameters

start: the Color drawn inside the edges of the rectangular bounds
center: the Color filling the center of the shape

Remarks

The Brush is a PathGradientBrush using the rectangular bounds of this shape, clipped by the actual shape. Hence you may not see the start color very much, except where the shape is close to the bounds. This use of a PathGradientBrush does not suffer from the effects of GDI+ filling concave or multi-figure shapes. You can set the BrushPoint property to change where the center color is centered; the default is new PointF(0.5f, 0.5f), the middle of the shape. You can set the BrushFocusScales property to change the size of the center color area; the default is new SizeF(0, 0).
