| Pad | Default value. The color values at the ends of the gradient vector fill the remaining space. | |
| Reflect | The gradient is repeated in the reverse direction until the space is filled. | |
| Repeat | The gradient is repeated in the original direction until the space is filled. |
The following illustration shows the available spread methods and their effect on LinearGradientBrush and RadialGradientBrush. The red line indicates the gradient space. A LinearGradientBrush defines its gradient space with its StartPoint and EndPoint properties. A RadialGradientBrush defines its gradient space with its Center, RadiusX, and RadiusY properties.
