Focus point for Radial/Elliptic gradients

[pozdn9k]

Hello!
Inkscape has a feature that allows changing the location of the "focus point" of radial and elliptic gradients to make them non-symmetrical which allows for creation of some amusing effects.
Here's an example from Inkscape's official tutorial page (link): https://inkscape.org/ru/doc/tutorials/tips/tutorial-tips.html (Excentric radial gradients)

It is described in SVG reference docs:
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/SVG/Element/radialGradient
The following attributes seem to be responsible for it.
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/SVG/Attribute/fx
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/SVG/Attribute/fy

I'm not sure how hard it is to implement, but to me it's a pretty simple yet interesting feature that I would love to see in Affinity Designer

Cheers!

Did you try?
It's already there,make sure to have snapping set

Here's a video on the feature I'm talking about ('advanced' showcase at the very beginning - rewind to 1:50 for a simpler example)

When that artists Shift-Clicks at the center point of the gradient they take control of the x-looking point which is the focus point I'm talking about.

It doesn't have anything to do with snapping.

@haakoo I cannot find any way to reproduce what pozdn9k is talking about in Affinity Designer.  Can you be specific about what combination of mouse buttons, keyboard modifiers (shift, ctrl, alt) and gestures you are using?  The Affinity Help doesn't help in this case, as it doesn't mention the capability.

There (currently) is no such capability in AD.
