Fill and stroke dialog - radial gradients usage
Hello everybody,
new to Inkscape I'm tring to use the Fill & stroke dialog, tab "Fill" => Radial gradient and whish to fill some rectangle with some color - but not evenly.
I can get center darker than periphery but I'd like to get center lighter than periphery instead, and don't know how to do that.
I tried to play withe those blue and red squares in the central zones but I hardly understand : - what is their exact usage - how to move each square separately - what those blue lines stand for and how to use it.
I've similar questions for linear gradient.
I'm an absolute newbee in drawing as in Inkscape's usage, so please be patient and excuse my bad English -- But feel free to answer in French
Regards,
Didier Spaier Paris

Easy way: make two rects, the bottom one dark, the top one white, then switch the top one to radial gradient.
Less easy way: after swithing an object to gradient, press "Edit", then use the the gradient editor to change colors/opacities of any stops.

This entire interface will be redesigned, hopefully for the next version. Gradients will be draggable on canvas and thus much easier to work with and more intuitive.
