# Gradient

Gradients allow you to add a blend of colours on your shape. 

Lottielab currently provides two types of gradients, [Linear](/editor/properties/fill-color/gradient/linear-gradient.md) and [Radial](/editor/properties/fill-color/gradient/radial-gradient.md), and these determine the pattern by which colour spreads from one point to another.

To control how this blend happens, the [gradient stops](/editor/properties/fill-color/gradient/gradient-stops.md) allow you to select the colour at each point and [gradient handles](/editor/properties/fill-color/gradient/gradient-handles-width-and-direction.md) determine the length and direction of the gradient spread.

# Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation

If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.lottielab.com/editor/properties/fill-color/gradient.md?ask=<question>
```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
