Hi all,

Has anyone tried to apply a linear gradient to a primitive?

Thank you.

Hi Dave,

I don’t think so, but it should be pretty easy to do with an image (using the Image material) or a [custom material](https://github.com/AnalyticalGraphicsInc/cesium/wiki/Fabric).

Hi Patrick,

Thank you for pointing this out. Hopefully one day it could support css gradient, could be useful.
