Line Gradient Support

[rwhitmore90]

Is there a way to set the color of a line shape to a gradient?

Hi @rwhitmore90 ,

Thanks for the question.

There is not presently any color options for gradients.

Is it possible to implement something manually? My problem is part of our master template requires a line with a gradient.

I found this link which shows the key part is the <a:gs> tag http://www.brandwares.com/bestpractices/2016/05/xml-hacking-graduated-color-table-borders/

<a:ln w="19050">
<a:gradFill>
<a:gsLst>
<a:gs pos="0">
<a:schemeClr val="bg1"/>
</a:gs>
<a:gs pos="25000">
<a:srgbClr val="B7E6FF"/>
</a:gs>
<a:gs pos="100000">
<a:schemeClr val="accent1"/>
</a:gs>
</a:gsLst>
<a:lin ang="0" scaled="0"/>
</a:gradFill>
</a:ln>

Hi @rwhitmore90 ,

There's no way to pass in custom XML, could you use an image instead of a line as a workaround?

This would be addressed by my implementation I reference in #102

Any news about this ?
