How to draw a rectangle with gradient?

[Daniel Mark]

Hello all:

I am using PIL to draw a rectangle filled with color blue.

Is there anyway I could set the fill pattern so that the drawn
rectangle could be filled with
gradient blue?


Thank you
-Daniel

I don't think there is a built-in gradient function, but you could do
something like this:
.... colour = (0, 0, 255 * l / 100)
.... draw.line((0, l, 100, l), fill=colour)
....
You have to adjust for the size and colours you want of course, and change
the loop so that the gradient is in the right direction.
