# Gradient step animated icon

The parameter takes one step downhill. Light: the gradient vector thrusts along its direction and springs back, and the parameter block hops down one stair, landing on the next tread with a hit and a small rebound; then it is back at the top for the next step, the lower block fading out as the top one fades in. Strong: the vector winds back and thrusts harder, and the block hops down two stairs, landing on each. The stairs never move.
