GradientDegree Property

Returns the gradient degree of the specified one-color shaded fill as a floating-point value from 0.0 (dark) through 1.0 (light). Read-only Single.

This property is read-only. Use the OneColorGradient method to set the gradient degree for the fill.

expression   Required. An expression that returns one of the objects in the Applies To list.

Example

This example sets the chart's fill format so that its gradient degree is at least 0.3.

With myChart.ChartArea.Fill
    If .Type = msoFillGradient Then
       If .GradientColorType = msoGradientOneColor Then
           If .GradientDegree < 0.3 Then
              .OneColorGradient .GradientStyle, _
                  .GradientVariant, 0.3
           End If
        End If
    End If
End With
