  <h5 id="C1_Framework_BlendConverter_remarks"><strong>Remarks</strong></h5>
  <div class="markdown level0 remarks"><p>The <a class="xref" href="https://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/api/system.drawing.drawing2d.blend">Blend</a> object is converted to a string with the following format:</p>
<p>[p1],[f1];[p2],[f2];...;[pn],[fn]</p>
<p>Where the 'pi' are positions between 0 and 1 along the blend line and
'fi' are factors between 0 and 1 that correspond to the amount of the 
secondary color in the blend.</p>
<p>The positions must be increasing, and the last one must be 1.</p>
<p>This converter allows persisting <a class="xref" href="https://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/api/system.drawing.drawing2d.blend">Blend</a> objects to Xml.</p>
</div>
  <h5 id="C1_Framework_BlendConverter_examples"><strong>Examples</strong></h5>
  <p>These are some simple blend strings:</p>
<p>"0,0;1,1": default blend, starting with color1 (0,0) and finishing with color2 (1,1).</p>
<p>"0,1;1,0": reverse blend, starting with color2 (1,0) and finishing with color1 (0,1).</p>
<p>"0,0;.5,1;1,0": starts with color1, switches to color2 halfway, then back to color1.</p>
<p>"0,0;.1,1;.9,1;1,0": starts with color1, switches to color2 at 10%, continues with color2 up to 90%, then switches back to color1.</p>
