Mystcraft gradients

[Cosmology27]

I understand the majority of Mystcraft, and have found most of the pages. There's still a few things I don't get, one of which being gradients. I've seen pictures of skies that look like rainbows (not the rainbow page, that looks totally different). Like, the sky would be one colour on the right, and another in the middle, and another on the left.
Is this possible?
I see that "half length" can be used to shorten the duration of the colour... is this true?

Basically, what I'm getting right now is a solid colour sky that never changes. I put in a few colours, then the half length, then the gradient, then sky colour. And it just gave me a yellow sky...

Thanks for the help

You need to write it like a story.
So perhaps if you say you have 3 skies(is there a page for sky without colour?)
And have blue - sky - red - sky - green - sky
If there isn't a sky then perhaps sun?
Sun - red - dawn sun - blue - noon - sun - green - sunset
Something like that?

For what you're trying to achieve gradient doesn't sound like the correct thing, as it adds a change over time effect.

I'm not sure if you can add different sky colours on a static sky, I think you could in theory have setting suns on different directions and have different colour sunsets affecting your sky perhaps.

Gradient

Gradient is a special modifier that provides changing colors, each given color lasting for a certain length of time before fading into the next color.
Gradient accepts the previous gradient and adds a new step to it. Gradient accepts a Color modifier for each step, telling the step what color it will be. Gradient accepts a Length modifier for each step as well, this Length is used to determine the amount of time before the gradient changes to the next color.
Gradients are believed to be accepted in all places a Color modifier would be accepted

I'm pritty sure the correct usage is like below, but I've never used it in practice.

double length red gradiant half length blue gradiant skycolour to get

Okay cool, both of those sounds like really good ideas, I'll try them out when I get home.
As for seannyyx, I don't think you've tried the new mystcraft, sun and moons aren't the kinds of things that can change color.

Yeah no. Only watched 2 videos about it. Not yet tried it out my self. But I didn't mean the sun changing colour I was thinking of the sky colour based on the time and area of the sun.
Ie if you have 3 suns. Dusk noon dawn. And make each one change the colour of the sky
So my thought would be pages: dusk red sun. Noon blue sun. Dawn green sun.
But like I said. Not sure entirely how it works. But that's how I'd try to "write" it
