Definition and Usage

The addColorStop() method specifies the colors and position in a gradient object.

The addColorStop() method is used together with createLinearGradient() or createRadialGradient().

Note: You can call the addColorStop() method multiple times to change a gradient. If you omit this method for gradient objects, the gradient will not be visible. You need to create at least one color stop to have a visible gradient.

JavaScript syntax: gradient.addColorStop(stop, color);
