How to draw a colored line which changes from yellow to red?

Rate this Message:
Hi,
I was wondering if it's possible to draw a colored line (using the \draw command) which continuously changes its color from yellow to red (or similarly, like a rainbow). I know the \shade command, however, this is only for coloring areas, not lines. Any help or comment is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Is there no other way of solving this problem? This seems to be a lot of code (which is not easy to understand, at least for me) for this simple problem.

OTOH, a line is just a thin rectangle (depending on the line width), so you might want to go with a plain rectangle instead.

Okay, thanks!
I already tried to use a rectangle but couldn't solve the problem. I will try again and see if it works (if so, I will post it).

ACK, that's a makeshift solution for straight lines, but what about arcs, circles, arrows and so on?

With a rectangle it's pretty simple:
[[ \documentclass[a4paper,10pt]{article} \usepackage{tikz} \title{Yellow-Red Line} \author{Marco Luca Sbodio} \begin{document} \maketitle \section{A Yellow-Red Line} \begin{tikzpicture} \node [ rectangle, left color=yellow, right color=red, minimum height=1pt, minimum width=5cm, inner sep=0pt, ] {}; \end{tikzpicture} \end{document} ]] I hope this helps.

Hello Juergen,
Most of the time you can draw a shape twice with different dimensions. First you draw the shade-filled shape the you draw a second one filled with the background color smaller than the first. Assuming a white background, one can draw an empty circle with colored shaded line : \begin{tikzpicture} \path[coordinate] (0,0) coordinate (center); \shade[shading=color wheel] (center) circle (2.2cm); \path[draw=none, fill=white] (center) circle (1.6cm); \end{tikzpicture} You need to better tune the shading style to get the effect you want on your circle.
