We know that. That's in the books. But none of them talk about (and I have 3
different ones) about how to use the gradient, just here it is. It's very
different. There is no tubular shadow, you know, dark at top and bottom,
light in the middle of a bar or column. That was very easy in 2003. I've
tried using the stops, etc but haven't been able to achieve the correct
effect. I'm updating a prior report and want the new graphs to look the same
as existing. Where is literature about how the gradient and stops, etc work.
Is it like PhotoShop type SW?
