SVG polar gradients

Question

I\'m a beginner at SVG, but I\'d like to learn some techniques.

To be short, is there a simple way to create something like this?

Answer 1

There is no support for polar gradients in SVG 1.1 (what's available in most edge browsers today) although there are proposals to allow capabilities like these in SVG 2. The only workaround I can think of is to apply a blend filter using an externally generated image as your multiply source. But then, I'm assuming the whole point it to try to avoid external images so this would be a little pointless:)
