GDL for Gradient fill

[Rafal SLEK]

I couldn't find anything about Gradient Fill coding in GDL?
Is it somewhere hidden in GDL reference guide?

AFAIK is there no implementation of gradient fills in GDL. Saving a gradient fill as GSM results in a solid fill.

I hope that there is an answer...
I've noticed that there is no way to put gradient fill simply from saving to GDL.
Pity. I prepare furniture library for interior designers - it will be nice to made their 2d symbols more graphic.

If it would be possible it would have to have a POLY2xxx command in GDL with fitting parameters. But there isn't one. The last one added is POLY2_B{3} with new parameters for new feature of skewed hatching. I am pretty shure, there isn't a way to solve it by one command.

The hard way is to program it with numerous pens for segmented polygons. Sorry.

Nevertheless - thanks very much for no-answer 🙂
