Parameters

Parameter	Type	Default	Range	Description
`orientation` Orientation	enum	vertical		Gradient direction. `vertical` : Run the pattern vertically across the texture. `horizontal` : Run the pattern horizontally across the texture.
`position` Position	float	0	0 to 1	Peak position. 0=peak at start (descending ramp), 1=peak at end (ascending ramp), 0.5=centered bump.
`profile` Profile	enum	arc		Equation used for the 0 to 1 curve. Arc: circular curve; Curve 0 is linear, Curve 1 is a quarter-circle arc. Power: exponent curve; Curve 0 is linear, Curve 1 is square root, Curve -1 is square. Cosine: sinusoidal ease curve; Curve 0 is a smooth S-curve, positive reaches 1 sooner, negative reaches 1 later. `arc` : Use the circular arc profile; Curve 0 is linear and positive Curve rounds outward. `power` : Use a power curve; positive Curve softens early, negative Curve tightens early. `cosine` : Use a sinusoidal ease curve for smooth S-shaped transitions.
`curve` Curve	float	0	-2 to 2	Adjusts the selected profile. Negative values make it tighter; positive values make it broader.
`repeats` Repeats	int	1	1 to 64	Number of gradient repetitions.
