Assign Color Ramp to Buffered Gradient

DeborahHuberWork — Wed, 07 Sep 2022 21:09:04 GMT

Would like the capability of assigning a color ramp to the Buffered Gradient polygon fill. The current Buffered Gradient assigns the same color to each polygon, but would prefer a randomized color scheme such as shown in the last graphic.

Thank you for your consideration!

~~There are several ways to do this. The most common is to create unique value symbology and just set the gradient symbol with a different color for each unique value class.~~

@CraigWilliams , when you say "...just set the gradient symbol with a different color for each unique value class"....that is done manually, no? I.e. if I want this symbol style applied to a map of the US State boundaries, I would still be manually choosing unique colors for 48 of the 49 classes? That is what I am trying to avoid. I did that to create my example image above.

I'm sorry, I misunderstood the request. The challenge here is that with gradient fills there's not a single color to apply the ramp to. The gradient itself is multiple colors (can be as few as two, but can be many more), so pushing a single color in is a challenge. We'll discuss this on the development team.
