Sets the blend factors and the blend positions of a linear gradient brush to create a custom blend
#include <GDIPlus.au3>
_GDIPlus_LineBrushSetBlend ( $hLineGradientBrush, $aBlends )
| $hLineGradientBrush | Pointer to a LinearGradientBrush object |
| $aBlends | Array of blend factors and blend positions: [0][0] - Number of blend factors and blend positions, must be at least 2 [1][0] - Factor 1 [1][1] - Position 1 [2][0] - Factor 2 [2][1] - Position 2 [n][0] - Factor n [n][1] - Position n |
| Success: | True. |
| Failure: | False and sets the @error flag to non-zero, @extended may contain GPSTATUS error code ($GPIP_ERR* see GPIPlusConstants.au3). |
Each factor in the array specifies a percentage of the ending color and should be in the range 0.0 to 1.0.
Each position in the array indicates a percentage of the distance between the starting boundary and the ending boundary and is in the range 0.0 to 1.0, where 0.0 indicates the starting boundary of the gradient and 1.0 indicates the ending boundary.
