What is a "Gradient" in an Image?
A gradient is an effect in an image that occurs when a color gradually becomes another color. There are various types of gradients according to their shape, e.g. a simple linear gradient, a circular radial gradient, etc. In image editors, we typically define a starting and ending position for the gradient and we can choose what occurs to the gradient after that point, e.g. the gradient stops at the extremes, or repeats, or repeats but inverting the starting color and ending color.
