Im struggling to create a fill in GDL and the manual is rather vague. Any suggestions or examples on how to implement this? Thanks
Cheers John

No. It works in mac also.
You'll have better results by undocking your plan AND 2D script window, then holding-click for a second or two onto your gradient fill in your plan window and dragging it into the 2D script window.
By the way the gradient fill works in GDL but I couldn't find how to set the directions or sizes of the gradients... but didn't search a lot

That is all set in the POLY2_B command.
