Example

import { AreaClosed } from '@visx/shape';
import { GradientPinkBlue } from '@visx/gradient';

const GradientArea = () => {
  return (
    <svg>
      <GradientPinkBlue id="gradient" />
      <AreaClosed fill="url('#gradient')" />
    </svg>
  );
};

The Definition Caveat

Like patterns, gradients are "defined." When you render <GradientPinkBlue />, it's rendering a <linearGradient/> element inside a <def> in the SVG.

It's often better to think of these as variable definitions rather than true DOM elements. When you use fill="url('#gradient')" you're referencing the gradient's id: gradient.

Make your own!

In addition to the preset linear gradients, you can make any linear or radial gradient like so:

import { LinearGradient, RadialGradient } from '@visx/gradient';

<LinearGradient from="#a18cd1" to="#fbc2eb" />;
<RadialGradient from="#a18cd1" to="#fbc2eb" />;

Installation

npm install --save @visx/gradient
