# PathGradientBrush

Namespace: **System.Drawing.Drawing2D**

Assembly: **System.Drawing.Managed** (4.0.0.0)

Encapsulates a [Brush](/system.drawing.managed/api/system.drawing/system.drawing.brush.md) object that fills the interior of a [GraphicsPath](/system.drawing.managed/api/system.drawing.drawing2d/system.drawing.drawing2d.graphicspath.md) object with a gradient. This class cannot be inherited.

| **focus** | [Single](https://docs.microsoft.com/dotnet/api/system.single) | A value from 0 through 1 that specifies the center of the gradient (the point where the starting color and ending color are blended equally). |

### ![](/files/gN3G3VR5GgQngV3jdnfJ) SetSigmaBellShape(focus, scale)

Creates a gradient falloff based on a bell-shaped curve.

| Parameter | Type                                                          | Description                                                                                                                             |
| --------- | ------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **focus** | [Single](https://docs.microsoft.com/dotnet/api/system.single) | A value from 0 through 1 that specifies the center of the gradient (the point where the gradient is composed of only the ending color). |
| **scale** | [Single](https://docs.microsoft.com/dotnet/api/system.single) | A value from 0 through 1 that specifies how fast the colors falloff from the *focus* .                                                  |

### ![](/files/gN3G3VR5GgQngV3jdnfJ) TranslateTransform(dx, dy)

Translates the local geometric transformation of this [TextureBrush](/system.drawing.managed/api/system.drawing/system.drawing.texturebrush.md) object by the specified dimensions. This method prepends the translation to the transformation.

| Parameter | Type                                                          | Description                                                                |
| --------- | ------------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **dx**    | [Single](https://docs.microsoft.com/dotnet/api/system.single) | The dimension by which to translate the transformation in the x direction. |
| **dy**    | [Single](https://docs.microsoft.com/dotnet/api/system.single) | The dimension by which to translate the transformation in the y direction. |

### ![](/files/gN3G3VR5GgQngV3jdnfJ) TranslateTransform(dx, dy, order)

Translates the local geometric transform by the specified dimensions in the specified order.

| Parameter | Type                                                                                                        | Description                                                      |
| --------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **dx**    | [Single](https://docs.microsoft.com/dotnet/api/system.single)                                               | The value of the translation in x.                               |
| **dy**    | [Single](https://docs.microsoft.com/dotnet/api/system.single)                                               | The value of the translation in y.                               |
| **order** | [MatrixOrder](/system.drawing.managed/api/system.drawing.drawing2d/system.drawing.drawing2d.matrixorder.md) | The order (prepend or append) in which to apply the translation. |

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.wisej.com/system.drawing.managed/api/system.drawing.drawing2d/system.drawing.drawing2d.pathgradientbrush.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
