Property Detail
scaleXproperty
scaleX:Number

Language Version : ActionScript 3.0
Product Version : Flex 3
Runtime Versions : Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1

The horizontal scale of the gradient transform, which defines the width of the (unrotated) gradient

This property can be used as the source for data binding.

Constructor Detail
LinearGradientStroke()Constructor
public function LinearGradientStroke(weight:Number = 1, pixelHinting:Boolean = false, scaleMode:String = normal, caps:String = round, joints:String = round, miterLimit:Number = 3)

Language Version : ActionScript 3.0
Product Version : Flex 3
Runtime Versions : Flash Player 9, AIR 1.1

Constructor.

Parameters
weight:Number (default = 1) — Specifies the line weight, in pixels. This parameter is optional, with a default value of 1.
 
pixelHinting:Boolean (default = false) — A Boolean value that specifies whether to hint strokes to full pixels. This affects both the position of anchors of a curve and the line stroke size itself. With pixelHinting set to true, Flash Player and AIR hint line widths to full pixel widths. With pixelHinting set to false, disjoints can appear for curves and straight lines. This parameter is optional, with a default value of false.
 
scaleMode:String (default = normal) — A value from the LineScaleMode class that specifies which scale mode to use. Valid values are LineScaleMode.HORIZONTAL, LineScaleMode.NONE, LineScaleMode.NORMAL, and LineScaleMode.VERTICAL. This parameter is optional, with a default value of LineScaleMode.NONE.
 
caps:String (default = round) — A value from the CapsStyle class that specifies the type of caps at the end of lines. Valid values are CapsStyle.NONE, CapsStyle.ROUND, and CapsStyle.SQUARE. A null value is equivalent to CapsStyle.ROUND. This parameter is optional, with a default value of CapsStyle.ROUND.
 
joints:String (default = round) — A value from the JointStyle class that specifies the type of joint appearance used at angles. Valid values are JointStyle.BEVEL, JointStyle.MITER, and JointStyle.ROUND. A null value is equivalent to JointStyle.ROUND. This parameter is optional, with a default value of JointStyle.ROUND.
 
miterLimit:Number (default = 3) — A number that indicates the limit at which a miter is cut off. Valid values range from 1 to 255 (and values outside of that range are rounded to 1 or 255). This value is only used if the jointStyle property is set to miter. The miterLimit value represents the length that a miter can extend beyond the point at which the lines meet to form a joint. The value expresses a factor of the line thickness. For example, with a miterLimit factor of 2.5 and a thickness of 10 pixels, the miter is cut off at 25 pixels. This parameter is optional, with a default value of 3.

apply()method
override public function apply(graphics:Graphics, targetBounds:Rectangle, targetOrigin:Point):void

Language Version : ActionScript 3.0

Parameters

graphics:Graphics — The Graphics object to apply the properties to.
