@vx/gradient
Advanced tools
@vx/gradient is a part of the @vx suite of visualization components for React. It provides a set of components to create gradient effects in SVG elements, which can be used to enhance data visualizations with color transitions.
Linear Gradient
The LinearGradient component allows you to create a linear gradient effect between two colors. This can be used to fill SVG elements with a smooth transition from one color to another.
<LinearGradient id="gradient" from="#fbc2eb" to="#a6c1ee" />Radial Gradient
The RadialGradient component creates a radial gradient effect, transitioning colors from the center outwards. This is useful for creating circular gradient effects in SVG elements.
<RadialGradient id="gradient" from="#fbc2eb" to="#a6c1ee" r={0.8} />Gradient Stop
GradientStop is used within gradient components to define specific color stops along the gradient. This allows for more complex gradient effects by specifying multiple colors and their positions.
<GradientStop offset="0%" stopColor="#fbc2eb" />d3-scale-chromatic is a part of the D3 library that provides color scales and schemes for data visualization. While it focuses more on color scales rather than gradients, it can be used in conjunction with SVG to create gradient-like effects. Unlike @vx/gradient, it is not specifically designed for SVG gradients but offers a wide range of color schemes.
react-spring is a library for creating animations in React. It can be used to animate gradients by interpolating colors over time. While it is not specifically a gradient library, it provides powerful tools for animating properties, including colors, which can be used to create dynamic gradient effects.
svg.js is a lightweight library for manipulating and animating SVGs. It includes functionality for creating and animating gradients within SVG elements. Compared to @vx/gradient, svg.js offers a broader range of SVG manipulation capabilities beyond just gradients.

import { AreaClosed } from '@vx/shape';
import { GradientPinkBlue } from '@vx/gradient';
const GradientArea = () => {
return (
<svg>
<GradientPinkBlue id="gradient" />
<AreaClosed fill="url('#gradient')" />
</svg>
);
};
Like patterns, gradients are "defined." When you render <GradientPinkBlue />, it's rendering a
<linearGradient/>
element inside a <def> in the SVG.
It's often better to think of these as variable definitions rather than true DOM elements. When you
use fill="url('#gradient')" you're referencing the gradient's id: gradient.
In addition to the preset linear gradients, you can make any linear or radial gradient like so:
import { LinearGradient, RadialGradient } from '@vx/gradient';
<LinearGradient from="#a18cd1" to="#fbc2eb" />;
<RadialGradient from="#a18cd1" to="#fbc2eb" />;
npm install --save @vx/gradient

rangeRound field in the input of scaleLinear(), scaleLog(), scalePoint(), scalePower(), scaleSqrt(), scaleTime() and scaleUtc(). #766
Instead of
scaleLinear({ rangeRound: xxx })
scaleLinear({ range: xxx, round: true });
ticks and tickFormat in the input of scaleQuantize(). It was not really doing anything anyway as both scale.ticks() and scale.tickFormat() do not mutate the scale. #766scale.type field that was attached to the d3 scales. #766@vx/grid components now accept D3 Scale as generic type instead of ScaleInput. Developers should not expect to specify this generic type as it can be inferred from the passed scale. #775GridColumnProps => GridColumnsProps (+s) to match GridRowsProps. #787<Marker /> implementation of a Line and some Text. #783AnyD3Scale, InferD3ScaleOutput, InferD3ScaleDiscreteInput, InferD3ScaleThresholdInput and ScaleInput. Add new utilities functions: getTicks, coerceNumber and toString. #773@vx/legend shapes from the index for convenience / non-deep imports. #772children prop to GridRows + GridColumns to support animated rendering. #787<BarRounded /> shape. #774d3-shape and export as part of vx/shape (arc, area, line, pie, radialLine),
similar to vx/scale has factories for d3-scale. #776SplitLinePath component to @vx/shape that allows you to create a line path split into multiple smaller line paths that can be styled independently. #778vx/scale and vx/axis. More fields passed to child render props of Axis. #773Axis is refactored to accept a ticksComponent which allows us to animate them. #779values to tickFormat(value, index, values) so that format logic can more easily leverage all ticks (because numTicks is approximate, lib consumers do not know how many tick values exist a priori). #779<Marker /> that matches actual SVG <marker>. #783<MarkerArrow />, <MarkerCross />, <MarkerX />, <MarkerCircle />, <MarkerLine />. #783@vx/react-spring that includes react-spring as a peerDep and can be a home for things that depend on react-spring. #779<AnimatedAxis /> and <AnimatedTicksRender /> in @vx/react-spring. #779vx-demo/axis demo to use <AnimatedAxis />. #779AnimatedGridRows + AnimatedGridColumns. #787AnimatedTicks/useAnimatedTicksConfig to spring-configs/useAnimatedLineTransitionConfig so it can power both animated tick + grid lines. #787animationTrajectory=outside | inside | min | max to AnimatedAxis and AnimatedGridRows/Columns. #787enableDebounceLeadingCall prop being passed into div. #763vx/scale package has 100% test coverage. #766<Marker>. #783/axis demo to include AnimatedGrid* and a animationTrajectory config. #787 - @vx/annotation: 0.0.198 => 0.0.199
