Lasso Mode: Directional

Directional mode fills selection or the rectangle of a line tool with a gradient. Supported tools are: Lasso Tool, Polygonal Lasso Tool and Line Tool.

There are 4 possible gradient options:

• From First Point: a gradient using the foreground color to transparency from the first clicked point to the furthest point of the selection;

• Perpendicular: a gradient perpendicular to the first and the last point of the lasso selection;

• Mix: a gradient using the mix of the color of first clicked point to the color of the furthest point of the selection;

• Between FG and BG: a gradient using the foreground color to background color from the first clicked point to the furthest point of the selection;

Examples of using different modes with the Symmetry turned on. Later the symmetry is off and Mixed Gradient is used with the Line Tool:
