Among all the programs I�ve ever used, Freehand has the best implementation of gradients and color management; plus the finest interface.
From the gradient options you can chose Linear, Radial, Logarithmic, Contour and Cone. You can further modify each of these by applying Normal, Repeat, Reflect and Auto size modifiers to the gradient styles. In addition, the gradients allow you to interactively modify the style within the object using small handles. With this you can create a great variety of patterns including abstract ones and also 3D effects. (Freehand also has a sophisticated 3D tool, as well, which is similar to Corel�s but more advanced).
From the above it sounds like Freehand should be analyzed for ideas on
redesigning the Gradient Editor.
Does anyone happen to have a copy of this, that they could make some screenshots or elaborate on Jozsef's comments above?
