# Options in the Gradient Fill dialog box

The following table shows the options in the Gradient Fill dialog box.

Options | Descriptions
Colors | Move the slider to change the percentage of the start and end color.
Start color | Click the Start color box to choose the start color for the gradient fill.
End color | Click the End color box to choose the end color for the gradient fill.
Horizontal | Click Horizontal to make the color gradient in a horizontal direction.
Vertical | Click Vertical to make the color gradient in a vertical direction.
Diagonal Up | Click Diagonal Up to make the color gradient in a diagonal up direction.
Diagonal Down | Click Diagonal Down to make the color gradient in a diagonal down direction.
Styles | A linear gradient color is specified by two points, and a color (or different intensity of one color) at each point. Depending on the points' positions, there are four styles you can select.

Important: | The PanelView Plus 7 and PanelView Plus 6 terminals cannot process a Gradient Fill that uses a Diagonal Up or Diagonal Down direction, nor can the terminal apply a Gradient Fill to a rotated object. When running an MER on a PanelView Plus 7 or PanelView Plus 6 terminal and the system encounters an object with these attributes, the system shall use the gradient fill starting color as the object's solid color background. When running the MER on a computer, the system can process all gradient fills and this warning does not apply.
