Gradient filled primitives

Is it possible to create primitives ( polygons, rectangles and so on ) with gradient fill using ImageMagick MagickWand C API ?

We have the infastructure for gradient fills but have not completed the code yet. So the answer is no, MagickWand does not support gradient filled graphic primitives.

So the support is planned then ? That sounds excellent!

Are you going to add support via existing API or add new functions for that ?

No new API calls are required to support gradient fills. Its just a matter of finishing the code in the render engine.

This is excellent news! In the current project I am using most of the functions in MagickWand api. The versions I am currently supporting ranges from 6.2.4 to the latest.

So my question is that do you have a list somewhere where i can see what functions / constants / features was added in which version? I haven't yet found such a thing.

The ImageMagick source distribution includes a change-log for MagickWand as ImageMagick-6.3.4/wand/Changelog.

Just pinging back on this topic. Any progress?

None. Our "to-do" list has several hundred items, each which can take anywhere from an hour to a month to resolve. It may be some time before we complete gradient support.
