--- Comment #1 from Heiko Tietze <heiko.tietze at documentfoundation.org> ---
I don't like the over-specification of a fairly fuzzy term. Most users
(including me) don't understand the difference between Square and Quadratic
(and the documentation keeps silent over the types) and rather play with the
result than trying to understand the effect from the name.

Switching from "Square" to "Rectangular" sounds good to me but I'd keep
"Quadratic". Ultimately I don't see need to align the UI labels with internal
variable names. So probably also NAB.


Looking for gradient naming did not return bug insights:

CSS: linear, radial, and conic [1]
Adobe: Linear, Radial, Conic, Diamond, Reflected
Photoshop: Linear, Radial, Angle, Reflected and Diamond
MSO: DiagonalDown, DiagonalUp, FromCenter, FromCorner, FromTitle, Horizontal,
Mixed, Vertical
MSO: Linear, Radial, Rectangular, Path
