fill: css gradient support?

[sbrl]

Heya,

In a nomnoml diagram, you can change the background:

#.testing: fill=#f9c
[<testing>I has a kewl b/g!]

....but you can't use CSS gradients:

#.party: fill=linear-gradient(#f44,#ff4,#4f4,#44f,#f4f)
[<party>:D]

....as they currently result in a black background.

Haven't checked the nomnoml code, but if you're setting the background of each box via CSS as the .classname seems to suggest in the syntax, then in theory it might be possible to add gradient support, though it might complicate the syntax rather?

The boxes are rendered either on a Canvas element or as SVG, and it seems neither of those systems accepts linear-gradient. Both have other ways of doing gradients however, but it is a bit out-of-scope for nomnoml to include support for that.
