The <linearGradient> Element
Linear gradients in SVG can be defined as horizontal gradients, vertical gradients, or diagonally at any angle between the horizontal and vertical. A horizontal gradient is created when the values of the y1 and y2 attributes of the <linearGradient> element are the same and the x1 and x2 attributes differ. A vertical gradient results when the x1 and x2 attributes or the <linearGradient> element are the same and the y1 and y2 attributes differ. A diagonal gradient results when both pairs of attributes differ.
A linear gradient can have two colors or many colors. Each color used in a gradient is specified using a <stop> element, which has stop-color and stop-opacity attributes. SVG also allows you to vary individually ...
