Notes
A GradientColor can be created using a reference to an existing gradient in the
application. If no existing gradient object is referenced, a default gradient will be supplied. An
origin is used to specify the center point of the gradient in this specific gradient color. Single
values are used to specify the gradient vector angles and lengths. A matrix may be specified to
further transform the gradient color.
Example 22.1
The following script obtains the gradient called "Black, White Radial" from the current
document and changes the color of the first gradient stop. The Gradient "Black, White Radial" is
one of the default gradients that appear when you create a new Illustrator document.
Dim appRef As New Illustrator.Application
Dim frontDocument As Illustrator.Document
Dim firstGradient As Illustrator.Gradient
Set frontDocument = appRef.ActiveDocument
'Get a reference to the gradient that you want to delete
Set firstGradient = frontDocument.Gradients("White, Black Radial")
'Create the new color
Dim startColor As New Illustrator.RGBColor
startColor.Red = 255
startColor.Green = 238
startColor.Blue = 98
firstGradient.GradientStops(1).Color = startColor
