Graded fills in EPS figures
Hi
I understand that, in order to be able to render graded objects correctly when used as EPS files (e.g., in LaTex, GsView etc.), I have to remove transparency and use two different colours for the grading. How do I do this? Also, why does an EPS figure created by Adobe Illustrator not have this problem?
I'm using Inkscape 0.44.
Thanks.
Regards

Select a gradient handle in Gradient tool and assign it any color, then right-click the selected style indicator in statusbar and select "make fill opaque".

Does not have _what_ problem? There's no opacity in PS, and even Adobe cannot do anything about it. They may be rasterizing images for EPS, though, which in my opinion is a "solution" which is worse than the original problem.

Some postscript implementations these days contain PDF-like operators for alpha compositing; I believe Adobe's may be one of them. It is not a standard part of the Postscript specification, however.

Thanks for the advice Bulia! It works exactly as I want it to.
