From c04c4c0b9b6d987706357447a349406ed4624d9c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Branimir Karadzic Date: Thu, 17 Sep 2026 13:38:38 -0700 Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Interpolate Canvas gradient stops in straight RGBA Interpolate RGB and alpha independently in linear and radial gradient baking. NanoVG performs premultiplication when compositing the ramp. Cover exact ramp bytes, radial interpolation, transparent and opaque stops, coincident-stop behavior, and GPU compositing over an opaque backdrop without relying on JavaScript upload-alpha changes.
