Yes, I admit, I'm rubbish at SVG editing, but nevertheless I do want to improve. I am trying to master gradient fills in Inkscape, but do not understand the menus. Much as I try, I can only get a gradient fill to go from one colour to transparent and colourless. Also, the edit stops thing is very confusing - how does it work, and how do I remove the default endstop of 100% clear and colourless? How, for instance, could I draw a circle whose fill went from red to green?

Thanks!

If you're using Inkscape 0.46 check out the video on this page - http://ryanler.wordpress.com/2007/07/25 ... t-editing/

If you're still using 0.45 then refer to this page - http://tavmjong.free.fr/INKSCAPE/MANUAL ... -Gradients
