Rendering linear gradient on breadboard part

[gpeyton]

Hello,

Fritzing is having trouble rendering my custom breadboard component with linear gradient - the gradient appears blank. Please see the attached files. Is there any way to fix this?

Many thanks.

AFIK Fritzing does not support linear gradients. It will accept them but not render them.

@vanepp This forum post has a part with a radial gradient that renders correctly?

Parts editing: breadboard view does not render properly

I would agree, likely nothing will change. I don’t think the issue is in Inkscape but rather in Fritzing. You look to be correct, I got a wrong svg in the initial look. This is the breadboard svg from your .fzpz file. Note the linear gradient doesn’t render in Inkscape [capture] This is your original svg where the linear gradient does render in Inkscape [capture1] the problem appears to be in the style definitions for path871, in the svg from your .fzpz file the filter:url(#filter1015-5)…

Not as far as I know. If you look at the final part, there isn’t a linear gradient there, just a normally shaded rendering which isn’t (AFIK) a linear gradient. It was close enough for that the original poster wanted, but I don’t believe it is a linear gradient (not that I’m all that clear on what a linear gradient is supposed to do .) If a part is run through the parts editor, the defs field in the svg (which contains the linear gradient definition I believe) is stripped out. I suppose it is possible that the render will process a linear gradient if you avoid the parts editor, but I don’t really know. It is also possible that Fritzing 0.9.10 has a better renderer (although I don’t think parts editor has changed!) It has been a while since the post you refer to, but my recollection is that the linear gradient never worked as intended.
