[Clipart] Gradients: sugestion

[Alberto Simões]

Hmms..
This is more tricky than I though.
One of the problems, should be that I don't know SVG :-) I am trying
to learn by differences :)

So, we have a <linearGradient> in a gradient.svg file. To use it I must:
  1. put a defs around it
  2. add another linearGradient with stops (do not know well what's this)
  3. put the XML relative to the rectangle.

So, the point 3 is easy to understand.
The first, Is not. But, being necessary, it is easy to add.
The third point is tricky, specially because I can't understand it well.

Where am I wrong?
Or, if I am not wrong, can anybody help me with point 2?

Cheers,
Alberto
