How would you fill a shape like this
image.thumb.png.ba14ea4e95fc717c6ce5c3fb1489b2e5.png
 

with a gradient that starts at the top and ends at the right; none of the presets seem to fit my use and a image brush method I've seen elsewhere seems to not work since I'm aiming to fill and not modify the stroke

Can you be a bit more specific about:

  • where the “top” is;
  • where the “right” is;
  • how the transition between “top” and “right” should proceed;
  • where the gradient should be seen;
  • where the gradient should not be seen?

Also how many (primary) colours in the gradient?

To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum. If any of "my" posts are wrong or appear to be total b*ll*cks they are the ones generated by the AI. If correct they were probably mine. I apologise for any mistakes made by my AI - I'm sure it will improve with time.

Sorry for the lack of information, I want the color RGB (0,140,0) to interpolate to RGB (0,90,0) in the direction here

I've tried conical but it has different shades depending on distance from the centre

Thanks for the extra information.

Yeah, a Conical gradient isn’t going to work, as you say, because it always has a single colour at the centre which affects the colours between the ‘outside’ and ‘inside’.

I’m pretty sure this has been asked before but I can’t remember what the solution was (it there was one).

There have been requests for ‘free-form gradients’ and ‘gradients mesh’ which can be found by searching the forums for gradient around circle .

The closest thing I can thing of at the moment is that given by Murfee above, but that still involves some change of colour from ‘inside’ to ‘outside’.

You could try using a Textured Image Brush as in my example image, large stroke width for brush on curve clipped inside the original shape, but I don’t know how well it will work in practice for what you want to do with it.

Now that I think of it, I’m pretty sure I posted a video about doing this sort of thing to the forums a while back.

@GarryP So that was why textured image brushes weren't working well... was completely unaware that you had to make the fill/stroke transparent for the actual colors of the image part of the image brush to show, thought it was always meant to appear grey, uhhh thanks for the possibly unintentional help

Sorry, no I don’t.

It can sometimes be lessened by using a Butt Cap on the stroke but my guess is that it’s a consequence of stretching the rectangular pixel image around a vector curve.

You can possibly get round it by making the curve a bit longer than you need it, so the clipping ‘hides’ the ends.

For this circular example I would use the Conical Gradient.

Just set one Stop to red and the other to yellow.

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that.
