Applying a Single Gradient Fill Color to a multipart feature

Question

So I have an indicatrix covering a world map for the purpose of illustrating distortions for different projections. I want the circles of the indicatrix to share the same gradient fill color, as opposed to each having their own individual gradient fill. To clarify, here is a picture of the indicatrix:

Notice that each circle has its own individual gradient fill. What I want to do is have QGIS treat them all as part of the same shape, so that a single gradient fill is spread out across them all. To visualize this, take the gradient fill for this circle:

...and then use the indicatrix to "clip" the circle without actually changing the fill. (I literally tried this already fyi. Just creates an visually identical shapefile to the indicatrix.)

I figured all I had to do was dissolve my indicatrix shapefile to a single feature and it would replicate this result, but apparently the issue is more complex than that. Can anyone enlighten me?

Answer 1

With corresponding settings, this can be easily done, see screenshot below. My settings are as follows:

• Gradient type: Radial
• Coord mode: Viewport
• Spread: Repeat
• Reference point 1: 0.5 for x and y
• Reference point 2: 0.5 for x and 0 for y

This is what you get:

Answer 2

Perhaps set the coord mode option to Viewport, see section Coordinate Modes in this website.
