In this advanced example, we'll create a glass of milk by layering transparent gradients. Since gradient opacity does not work in IE <= 8, there will be a noticeable degradation in those browsers.

HTML

```
```

CSS

``` #mygraphiccontainer { top: 20px; left: 20px; position: relative; width: 680px; height:500px; } .example { background: url(../assets/graphics/img/curtain.png) no-repeat center; } ```

Javascript

Create a `Graphic` instance

``` var mygraphic = new Y.Graphic({render:"#mygraphiccontainer"}); ```

Create a radial gradient to act as a shadow for the glass.

``` var mygraphic = new Y.Graphic({render:"#mygraphiccontainer"}); var shadow = mygraphic.addShape({ type: "ellipse", stroke: { color: "#ddd", weight: 0 }, fill: { type: "radial", stops: [ {color: "#000", opacity: 0.7, offset: 0}, {color: "#000", opacity: 0.4, offset: 0.5}, {color: "#000", opacity: 0.1, offset: 0.7} ], cx: .6, cy: .6, fx: 0.1, fy: 0.3, r: 0.8 }, width: 280, height: 20, x:318, y:420 }); ```

Create a rectangle with a linear gradient for the chocolate milk.

``` var milk = mygraphic.addShape({ x: 314, y: 180, type: "rect", stroke: { color:"#6c3f27", weight: 1, opacity:0.3 }, fill: { type: "linear", rotation: 0, stops: [ {color: "#d1c4bd", opacity:0.9, offset: 0}, {color: "#a78c7e", opacity: 0.9, offset: 0.4}, {color: "#6c3f27", opacity: 0.9, offset: 0.7} ] }, width:142, height:230 }); ```

Add another linear gradient rectangle for the glass.

``` var myrect = mygraphic.addShape({ x: 310, y: 110, type: "rect", stroke: { color:"#90ad8c", weight: 1, opacity:0.6 }, fill: { type: "linear", rotation: 90, stops: [ {color: "#90ad8c", opacity:0.3, offset: 0}, {color: "#819c7d", opacity: 0.3, offset: 0.8}, {color: "#40563d", opacity: 0.7, offset: 1.0} ] }, width:150, height:325 }); ```

Create the linear gradient for the reflection.

``` var reflect = mygraphic.addShape({ x: 310, y: 113, type: "rect", stroke: { color:"#90ad8c", weight: 1, opacity:0.0 }, fill: { type: "linear", rotation: 0, stops: [ {color: "#fff", opacity:0.0, offset: 0.2}, {color: "#fff", opacity: 0.4, offset: 0.3}, {color: "#fff", opacity: 0.0, offset: 0.4} ] }, width:150, height:318 }); ```
