Tip of day: Gradients with CoreImage Filter
With CoreImage you can easily get nice gradients:
// create gradient filter
dim CiGradiantFilter as new CIFilterLinearGradientMBS
// set input vector and colors
CiGradiantFilter.inputPoint0 = CIVectorMBS.vectorWithXY(800,600)
CiGradiantFilter.inputPoint1 = CIVectorMBS.vectorWithXY(0,0)
CiGradiantFilter.inputColor0 = CIColorMBS.colorWithRGB(1,1,1)
CiGradiantFilter.inputColor1 = CIColorMBS.colorWithRGB(1,0.5,0.3)
// get output picture
dim r as CIImageMBS = CiGradiantFilter.outputImage
// render bitmap
Backdrop = r.RenderPicture(800, 600)
With MBS Plugin we provide you over 100 CoreImage classes including CIFilterLinearGradientMBS, CIFilterGaussianGradientMBS, CIFilterRadialGradientMBS and CIFilterSmoothLinearGradientMBS.
