Remarks

The default central point ___location of the gradient circle is (0.5, 0.5).

See the "Remarks" section in the Point reference topic for scripting usages of this property.

The MappingMode property of a RadialGradientBrush determines whether the object's coordinate properties are interpreted as relative or absolute values. By default, Center is treated as relative, which corresponds to a MappingMode of RelativeToBoundingBox. A MappingMode of Absolute specifies that the Center value is expressed in coordinate pixels, not as a factor within the bounding box of the area where the brush is applied.
