Class: QgsGradientColorRamp

class qgis.core.QgsGradientColorRamp(color1: Union[QColor, Qt.GlobalColor, QGradient] = DEFAULT_GRADIENT_COLOR1, color2: Union[QColor, Qt.GlobalColor, QGradient] = DEFAULT_GRADIENT_COLOR2, discrete: bool = False, stops: Iterable[QgsGradientStop] = [])

Bases: QgsColorRamp

Constructor for QgsGradientColorRamp

Parameters
  • color1 – start color, corresponding to a position of 0.0

  • color2 – end color, corresponding to a position of 1.0

  • discrete – set to True for discrete interpolation instead of smoothly interpolating between colors

  • stops – optional list of additional color stops

QgsGradientColorRamp(QgsGradientColorRamp)

Gradient color ramp, which smoothly interpolates between two colors and also supports optional extra color stops.

addStopsToGradient(self, gradient: QGradient, opacity: float = 1)

Copy color ramp stops to a QGradient

Parameters
  • gradient (QGradient) – gradient to copy stops into

  • opacity (float = 1) – opacity multiplier. Opacity of colors will be multiplied by this factor before adding to the gradient.
