Gradient Type

Whether a Gradient is a linear, radial, or conic.

Value Name Description
1 Linear Colors transition in a single linear direction.
2 Radial Colors transition outward from a center point.
3 Conic Colors radiate clockwise around a center point.

Gradient types are defined by Gradient Type with the following semantics (Properties are the ones from Gradient and Gradient Stroke).

All gradient types use a padded spread, meaning the color stays constant outside the range.

1: Linear Gradient

The gradient changes colors across a straight line, with s indicating the point at offset 0 and e the point at offset 1.

2: Radial Gradient

The gradient radiates between an outer circle and a point within it.

The outer circle corresponds with offset 1 and is centered at s and has radius |e - s|.

The inner point is defined in polar coordinates relative to s and e:

h is a percentange of the radius (between 0 and 100) indicating the distance from s. A value of 0 indicates being at s and a value of 100 being on the edge of the outer circle.

a Is the angle in degrees the point is offset from the line between s and e. A value of 0 indicates the point is on that line, otherwise it's rotated clockwise by that many degrees.

3: Conic Gradient

The gradient changes colors across a circle around a point.

s indicates the center of the circle.

a is the initial angle in degrees. If omitted, defaults to 0.

Offset values represent portions of a turn around the circle turning clockwise. A value of 0 will be at the angle a, a value of 0.25 will be 90 degrees from that.

Mask Mode

Describes how a mask interacts (blends) with the preceding masks in the stack.

Value Name Description
'n' None The mask is ignored.
'a' Add Mask coverage is added (Normal blending).
's' Subtract Mask coverage is subtracted (Subtract blending).
'i' Intersect Mask coverage is intersected (Source-In blending).
'l' Lighten
'd' Darken
'f' Difference

2 Inverted Alpha The masked layer opacity is modulated by the inverted track matte layer opacity
3 Luma The masked layer opacity is modulated by the track matte layer luminance
4 Inverted Luma The masked layer opacity is modulated by the inverted track matte layer luminance
