Exporting SVGs with gradient along a stroke

[hannaha68987178]

I see from a post in 2018 that this wasn't possible. Is that still the case? I am trying to export the following icon as an SVG, maintaining the stroke as requested by the developer. It automatically rasterizes it if the gradient goes along the path. If the gradient runs across the shape as a whole it doesn't cause a problem.

Hi. It's common to have problems with gradients when you export to SVG format. You can simplify the element or export it to another format like PNG.

SVG does only support gradient inside a stroke, not along or across. If the developer want the gradient along the stroke, then maybe like this: https://gist.github.com/mbostock/4163057
