Bảng Swatches cho thấy gradient thực tế bên cạnh tên của nó. Mô hình này cũng xuất hiện trong các nút Fill hoặc nút Stroke trong các bảng điều khiển Công cụ nếu gradient mà là hiện lựa chọn như một điền hoặc đột quỵ, cũng như trong các nút Gradient trong bảng điều đó, có hay không nó là hiện đang áp dụng như là một điền hoặc đột quỵ. | 112 Part II Document Essentials The Swatches panel shows the actual gradient next to its name. The pattern also appears in the Fill button or Stroke button in the Tools panel if that gradient is currently selected as a fill or stroke as well as in the Gradient button in that panel whether or not it s currently applied as a fill or stroke. Understanding the Gradient panel Just as it does with unnamed colors InDesign lets you create unnamed gradients gradients that have no swatches. Unlike unnamed colors you can use these to your heart s content because all colors in a gradient are converted to process colors and or use defined spot-color swatches so there are no unnamed colors in their output. The process is pretty much the same as creating a gradient swatch except that you select an object and then open the Gradient panel Window1 Gradient . In that panel you select a stop point and then choose a color to apply to it by clicking a color in the Swatches panel or in the Color panel. You create and adjust stop points here just as you do when defining a gradient swatch. The difference Gradients in the Swatches panel can be reused whereas gradients applied through the Gradient panel cannot be. But you can add them to the Swatches panel by right-clicking or Control clicking the gradient in the Tools panel s Fill or Stroke button and then choosing Add to Swatches in the contextual menu that appears. The Gradient panel can also manipulate gradient swatches After you apply a linear gradient whether via a gradient swatch or as an unnamed gradient you can change the angle of the gradient rotating the gradient within the object. Just type the desired degree of rotation in the Angle field to rotate the gradient s direction by the value. Negative values rotate counterclockwise whereas positive values rotate clockwise. Note that you can t rotate a radial gradient because it s circular and thus any rotation has no effect. .
