Gradients
The Gradient tool fills the selected area with blend of foreground and background colors, foreground to transparent
color, or custom colors. To create gradients, select the Gradient tool on the toolbar. Then, drag the cursor in the direction
you want the gradient to go from one color to another, release the mouse button where you want the gradient to end. The
shorter the distance you drag, the sharper the gradient will be.

Mouse over a cell will display its name at the bottom. Gradient colors in the first three cells in the top left
corner vary according to the foreground and background colors you have selected. For example, mouse over
the first cell at the top left corner will display FG (Foreground) to BG (Background) RGB. The cell next to it on
the right is FG (Foreground) to BG (Background) HSV and so on.
Gradient offset gives the weight of the Foreground color. For a large offset, it gives more of a Foreground
color presence.
Reverse gives a reverse of gradient type.
Supersampling gives a smooth color transition. However, it is a slow process.
