Title:
- A Gradient Mesh Tool for Non-Rectangular Gradient Meshes

Abstract:
The gradient mesh tool, implemented in vector graphics software like Adobe Illustrator, is a popular tool for creating and manipulating complex colour gradients. The mesh-based tool is restricted to rectangular gradient meshes, making it hard for the user to work with more complicated shapes such as shapes with holes. We propose a new gradient mesh tool that supports non-rectangular meshes, with native support for a wide range of different shapes. A user study indicates that our tool is easier to use when drawing colour gradients inside complicated shapes.
