# `GSShape.strokeGradient`

*Instance Property*

The gradient used for the stroke.

## Declaration

```swift
var strokeGradient: GSGradient? { get set }
```

```objc
@property (nonatomic, strong) GSGradient * strokeGradient;
```

```python
strokeGradient() -> GSGradient
setStrokeGradient_(strokeGradient: GSGradient)
```

## Discussion

The gradient takes precedence over the stroke color. Set the value to `nil` to remove the gradient stroke paint.
