I'm just ask'n not in need of but could see a use for!

To paint a gradient along a path and have the option of whether is on the inside or outside of the path. Also have control of the direction and type of gradient.

From my experiment once the path is converted to a selection you set a feather amount then paint the gradient then delete the feathered part would be the gradient along the path. But it would the opposite side of the selection. So if you wanted the gradient on the inside of the selection the selection would have to be inverted and vice versa.

Did I make any sense?


Everything except for the red was linear, red was radial. The white and red I used a feather value of 160 and if I can remember right the multi-color gradient was like 60 or something like that.

there is already a script from RobA i think is also in the registry

That was a sample a gradient along a path. I shall look again!

And there was a thread for text on a path filled with a gradient.

You can "paint a gradient" along a path by checking "use colour from gradient" in the tool option then stroking the path with that tool.

I'll have to look again Rob. I don't recall seeing it, then again it was early my mind was still in neutral and I got some hot idea stuck in it. Usually a good mixture for a fail!

It is definitely there MrBiggz.
