7.9 THE GRADIENT COMMAND
°
Use the Gradient command if you to want to shade a 2D area with one color
along with white, black, a shade of gray, or with two colors.
The Gradient command uses the same method as the Hatch command, so
there is no need to describe the steps again.
To start the Gradient command, make sure you are in the Home tab on the
Ribbon , and, expanding the Draw panel, select the Gradient button.
