Gradient Tool

Use the Gradient tool to position the start and end points of a gradient fill relative to a shape’s bounds, changing the angle and spread of the gradient.

Choose the Move tool and tap an object with a gradient fill to select it, and then tap it a second time to activate the Gradient Tool. The start and end points of the gradient will appear on the selected shape.

The gradient handles can be moved by simply dragging them. Tap and hold with a second finger while dragging the gradient handle to constrain its movement to 45˚ increments.

To reset the start and end points of the gradient to their default positions, tap the Reset button in the Tool pane.

When finished, tap anywhere on the canvas to end the gradient editing and revert to the Move tool.
