 There are 4 types of gradients:
-* {{l|Linear Gradient Layer|Linear}} - This produces a simple transition in a straight line. Set your foreground and background colors. Click where you want the gradient to begin, and drag to where you want the transition to end.  The gradient will be created perpendicular to the line you drag out. At any time, you can edit the gradient by moving either endpoint in any direction. You must use the {{l|Normal Tool}} to be able to edit the endpoints.
-{{l|Image:Linear_gradient.png}}
+{|border="0" style="border-collapse"  cellpadding="3" cellspacing="0"
-* {{l|Radial Gradient Layer|Radial}} - This produces circular colors with the transition being at the center of those circles. Click where you want the center of the circles to be, and drag to set the radius of the transition. Use the {{l|Normal Tool}} to edit the position (center endpoint), or the radius (surface endpoint), of the radial gradient.

-{{l|Image:Radial_gradient.png|228px}}
+|'''Name'''||'''Example'''||'''Description'''
-* {{l|Conical Gradient Layer|Conical}} - This has the appearance of looking down on a tip of a cone. The gradient is along the circular arc of the center and goes in all directions.  Click to set the center, and drag to indicate the direction in which the foreground and background colors should go. To edit afterwards, use the {{l|Normal Tool}}. The center endpoint can be adjusted to move the center of the gradient. The other endpoint adjusts the direction of the gradient.
