The Gradient panel's Method menu gets two methods of VectorCraft's own beside Classic and Perceptual. They mix a linear, radial, conic or diamond gradient's colors around the hue wheel: hue, saturation and brightness each change evenly from one stop to the next, and the hue angle keeps one direction, as the fixed-direction rules of https://www.w3.org/TR/css-color-4/#hue-interpolation do. Hue Clockwise lowers the angle (red, magenta, blue), which is clockwise on the color wheels, and Hue Counterclockwise raises it (red, yellow, green). Two stops whose hues are less than half a color level apart count as one hue and keep it, so a color and a tint or shade of it do not turn the whole wheel. A stop whose RGB numbers are less than half a color level apart is gray and takes the hue of the stop it mixes with, and black takes that stop's saturation too. - `paint.editGradient` and `paint.setFill` take `method: hue-clockwise` or `hue-counterclockwise`, in any case, with a space or an underscore for the hyphen or without it; other spellings are an error. The native file writes `HueClockwise` and `HueCounterclockwise`. - The canvas and raster exports draw the gradient through stops on its curve, within half a color level. - Reverse turns the method the other way with the stops, and a Reflect spread is repeated from the curve's stops, so both keep the colors. - SVG and PDF write the gradient as an RGB image, CMYK and spot color stops included, with the spot warning. EPS writes a shading in process colors with a warning for spot stops. A legacy .ai file and the .ai editing data get the colors between the stops as stops of their own, in process colors, at most 256, with a warning. CSS gets those stops too. - The `method` error names the four values, in every catalog. - The Method menu is as wide as its longest name in the interface language, within the panel.
