Notes
Illustrator's GradientStop object represents a point on a specific gradient defined in the
Illustrator application. Each gradient stop specifies a color change in the containing gradient.
Example 23.1
This example illustrates how to add a new gradient stop to an existing gradient.
Dim appRef As New Illustrator.Application
Dim frontDocument As Illustrator.Document
Dim changeGradient As Illustrator.Gradient
Dim lastStop As Illustrator.GradientStop
Dim newStop As Illustrator.GradientStop
Set frontDocument = appRef.ActiveDocument
'Get a reference to the gradient that you want to change
Set changeGradient = frontDocument.Gradients(1)
'Get a reference to the gradient stop that is the last one
'before you add a new gradient stop
Dim originalCount As Integer
originalCount = changeGradient.GradientStops.Count
Set lastStop = changeGradient.GradientStops(originalCount)
'add the new gradient stop
Set newStop = changeGradient.GradientStops.Add
