Hello,

Is there any way to create conic gradients? I have many circles and would like to fill them with conic gradients. In the gradient window I only found radial and linear gradients. Thanks for the help.

Hello Steve,

do you have Photoshop? Or Corel Draw? There you can fill objects or layers with conic gradients. Think of a clock. A simple conic gradient would start at 12 o´clock (blue), goes on until 6 o´clock (yellow) and then ends at midnight (white). The direction
is similar to what you can see on a radar display.

Gallb,

As you've already discovered, Illustrator is far behind other programs in the number and kinds of built-in grads. Making a conic (or "radar" or "sweep") grad is possible in Illustrator with clumsy workarounds, which have been discussed in this forum often
(and the AI Macintosh forum). Do a search in both forums for "grad".

Thank you, Steve. That was a very good advice.
