Adjusting gradients

You can adjust gradients to control the display of the gradient colors. For example, you can change the order of the colors and the angle of the gradient.

The gradient order set to display from Left to Right (left) and Right to Left (right).

The gradient angle set to display at a vertical angle (left) and at a horizontal angle (right).

You can also modify the spirality of the gradient. For example, a higher amount of spirality produces a tighter spiral effect.

The gradient with low spiral tension (left) and high spiral tension (right).
