3 Adjust the look of a radial gradient by doing any of the following:
To recenter the gradient in the object, drag the small, blue, circular blend point Â
control (in the center of the gradient within your object), to where you want the
center to be.

blend point controls above the gradient strip in the Graphic inspector, dragging
them until you create the look you want.
