How i can get the brush type gradient or Texture? In the GM help the property Brush.type Specifies what type the brush is: solid, hatch, gradient or some other, but the BrushType Enumeration only has two options: BrushTypeSolid - 0 and BrushTypeHatch - 1.
According with GDI+, brush may be: SolidBrush, HatchBrush, TextureBrush and GradientBrush.
Are the options TextureBrush and GradientBrush available in Graphics Mill?
Thanks

It seems the documentation contains incorrect information (we did plan to add these features, but had to refuse this idea). Thank you for keeping us informed about this. Graphics Mill supports only solid and hatch brush. Unfortunately neither texture nor gradient are not supported. However you could emulate it. The idea is the following: 1. Add alpha channel to the image you need to use as a texture (or generated gradient). This alpha channel should contain a shape you need to fill. 2. Draw the texture/gradient (using alpha blending). 3. Draw the shape (if you need outline). Please let me know if you need more detailed code sample for this. Also, there is a discussion how to generate a gradient on this forum. View post for more details on this.
