[DotGNU][Winforms] LinearGradients

[Simon Guindon]

Hey all, I've been trying to do some "pretty" winform controls and I revisited the gradient problem, I came across a simple algo that seems to do the proper gradient calculations, I tested it on .NET and using the manual calculation ended up with the same line for line gradient as using LinearGradientBrush from System.Drawing.Drawing2D.

 

I took a look at LinearGradientBrush.cs and I'm not quite sure where to fit it in so I thought I would post it here and get any feedback, perhaps this isn't useful but hopefully it is.  I don't know much about the angle parameter that exists in the .NET implementation but when I use this for vertical or horizontal mode, it works fine, I'm not sure whats needed to account for angles etc.

 

At the very least it draws a gradient in pnet now! ;)

 

I hope this is helpful.

 

Take care,

Simon
