When you apply a gradient to the fill or stroke of multiple selected objects, they
are applied independently.
Now you'll adjust the gradient on the shapes so that the gradient blends across all of them
as one object.
4.
Make sure that the Fill box at the bottom of the Tools panel or in the Swatches
panel is selected.
5.
Select the Gradient tool ( ) in the Tools panel.
Notice that there is a gradient annotator (a bar) on each of the sails. This shows
that by applying a gradient to multiple selected objects, the gradients are applied to
each object independently.
6.
Drag from the center of the leftmost sail shape to the rightmost edge of the sail on
the right, as shown in the figure, to apply the gradient uniformly as a single gradi-
ent across both shapes.
