Opacity | Specifies the degree of opacity of the brush's paint or fill. (Inherited from Brush.) |

Methods
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
|
Equals(Object) | Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object. (Inherited from Object.) |
|
GetHashCode | Serves as a hash function for a particular type. (Inherited from Object.) |
|
GetType | Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.) |
.gif "Protected method") |
RenderEllipse | Renders an ellipse. (Inherited from Brush.) |
|
RenderPolygon | Renders a polygon. (Inherited from Brush.) |
|
RenderRectangle | Renders a rectangle. (Inherited from Brush.) |
|
ToString | Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.) |

Fields
| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
.gif "Public field") |
EndColor | Specifies the color at the end of the gradient path. This is the color at the point specified by the EndX and EndY fields. |
|
EndX | The horizontal coordinate (relative to the left edge of the area being painted) of the ending point of the gradient path. The default value is 1, which is the right edge of the area. |
|
EndY | The vertical coordinate (relative to the top edge of the area being painted) of the ending point of the gradient path. The default value is 1, which is the bottom edge of the area. |
|
MappingMode | Specifies how the brush is mapped. The value is set to RelativeToBoundingBox. |
.gif "Static member") |
RelativeBoundingBoxSize | Specifies the size of the bounding box. The value is set to 1000. |
|
StartColor | Specifies the color at the beginning of the gradient path. This is the color at the point specified by the StartX and StartY fields. |
|
StartX | The horizontal coordinate (relative to the left edge of the area being painted) of the starting point of the gradient path. The default value is 0 (zero), which is the left edge of the area. |
|
StartY | The vertical coordinate (relative to the top edge of the area being painted) of the starting point of the gradient path. The default value is 0 (zero), which is the top edge of the area. |

Remarks
A "linear gradient of color" is a blend of colors that transistion smoothly through the range of hues. A LinearGradientBrush object paints an area with color that changes gradually along a gradient path (a linear representation of the spectrum), from a specified starting color to a specified ending color.
Thread Safety
Any public static (Shared in Visual Basic) members of this type are thread safe. Any instance members are not guaranteed to be thread safe.
