Can anyone tell me how to get the gradient direction & scale controls to appear on an object? E.g.



Thanks.

Change to node editor tool and they should appear somewhere.
Any new gradient's handles are set at the middle of the bounding box in horizontal direction.

Thanks. Quite who thinks gradients controls are nodes, goodness knows!

Good point.

Those control points are messed up.
For example if you clone an object with a gradient fill, and you want to change the steps in the gradient with the node editor tool, it results in hundreds of unused defs -unused gradient attributes-, and can lead to crash the program.

I'm guessing it is a forced solution.
As with the node editor tool you cannot change the object's transformation values, which are parallel with the style attributes in the codes.
Maybe there is a practical reason for that -the node editor tool is meant to be for finetuning?

Urk. Thanks for the warnings.
