Create One Gradient With Multiple Objects Now with the Gradient Tool selected, just double-click on the object to apply a gradient. To demonstrate, just draw a square with some sort of color. Originally, you'd have to open up Fill and Stroke and set the Fill to a linear or radial gradient to your object. This little tip allows you to apply a gradient on the fly. While I'm using linear gradients in this tutorial, the same principles apply to radial gradients.


Check out this quick tip to learn some tricks with Inkscape's gradients, Gradient Editor, and Gradient Tool. When you do, they can be rather overwhelming and confusing at first. The first time you open Inkscape, it may take a while to finally discover gradients.
