Applying fountain transparency

Fountain transparency makes the object fade from one transparency value to another. The fountain transparency can be linear, elliptical, conical, or rectangular.

You can choose fountain transparencies from a personal library or from the Content Exchange. You can browse the available transparency patterns, search by keyword, mark patterns as favorites, vote for patterns that you like, or copy patterns from the Content Exchange to your personal library. For more information, see Managing fills and transparencies.

You can create a fountain transparency by adding and removing nodes, and specifying a transparency value for each node. You can also reverse, mirror, resize, or skew a fountain transparency, or apply other transformations.

After you create a fountain transparency, you can save it for future use or share it with other users on the Content Exchange. For more information, see Saving and sharing fills and transparencies.
