Linear Ramp Tool
The Linear Ramp tool lets you create images with a variety of properties and
in several formats. The Linear Ramp tool is comprised of three sets of color
channel value fields that allow you to generate a multi-color image based on
RGBA values. One set of values is for generating the fill color, and two sets
are for generating start and end ramped colors residing in the region of
definition (ROD). The fill color is defined as those pixels residing outside the
ROD. Two other controls allow you to position the center of the ramp at any
vertical or horizontal point in the image.
NOTE The following procedure assumes that you have a Schematic and a Player
view open.
To create a linear ramped image:
1 Drag the Linear Ramp tool from the Tools tab to the dependency graph
in the Schematic and attach it to the Output node.
The Linear Ramp UI appears.
2 Apply image propertiessee
Setting Image Generation Properties and
Formats
on page 420.
3 Adjust the Fill, Start, and End color values by dragging inside the value
fields.
4 Modify the location and direction of the linear ramp.
NOTE You can also manipulate the linear ramp by clicking and dragging the
vertical bar.
