## Customizing gradient backgrounds

Figure 10

VisIt provides controls for setting the colors and style used for gradient backgrounds. There are two color buttons: Gradient color 1 and Gradient color 2 that are used to change colors. To change the gradient colors, click on the color buttons and select a color from the Popup color menu. The gradient style is used to determine how colors blend into each other. To change the gradient style, make a selection from the Gradient style menu. The available options are Bottom to Top, Top to Bottom, Left to Right, Right to Left, and Radial. The first four options blend gradient color 1 to gradient color 2 in the manner prescribed by the style name. For example, Bottom to Top will have gradient color 1 at the bottom and gradient color 2 at the top. The radial gradient style puts gradient color 1 in the middle of the visualization window and blends gradient color 2 radially outward from the center. Examples of the gradient styles are shown in figure.
