To specify the gradient transparency
Each gradient fill contains settings that control the opacity of the fill at different locations on the gradient. For
example, you can set the starting color to 100% opacity and have the fill gradually blend into an ending color with
50% opacity. The checkerboard pattern indicates the amount of transparency in the gradient preview.
