gradient stop animation

[LittleLeonie]

am i missing something or is these as it stands no way to add an animation to a gradient stop?

[LittleLeonie]

closed because i found the otherElem parameter of the Animate() class.

Glad you solved it. Was the issue that you couldn't do something like this?

gradient = ...
stop = gradient.addStop(...)  # addStop doesn't return anything currently.
stop.appendAnim(...)

Can you share how you did it using the otherElem parameter?

[LittleLeonie]

That was exactly what i tried yea. The otherElem parameter sets the xlink:href attribute of the <animate> element, if you give the stop an id, by using the id parameter of the addStop() method, you can use that given id as the value for the otherElem parameter.

gradient = ...
gradient.addStop(id="stop", ...)
gradient.appendAnim(Animate(otherElem="#stop", ...))

Thanks. I'll consider this a bug with the package because you shouldn't be required to use manual ids like that.

I'm going to reopen this issue until I (or someone else) fixes this. The addStop method should return the element it creates so the code I gave works as expected.

alright, many thanks!
