Gridient fill does not seem to work

[Alex]

I tried to set the backgroundFill to a gradient as follows:
        var gridStyle = chart.gridStyle()
        gridStyle?.backgroundFill = TKGradientFill(colors: [UIColor.redColor(), UIColor.greenColor()], locations: [0, 1])
But it did not seem to work. I also tried different variations (e.g., not specifying locations, different locations values, etc.) without much success.

Setting it to a solid color does work though:
        gridStyle?.backgroundFill = TKSolidFill(color: UIColor.redColor())

Am I specifying the gradient fill correctly? If not, how should I specify?

Thanks.

Hi Alex,

TKGradientFill is an abstract class and it should not be instantiated. The correct way to use gradients for the grid's backgroundFill property is to use TKLinearGradientFill or TKRadialGradientFill which inherit from TKGradientFIll. Please consider the code snippet below:

chart.gridStyle().backgroundFill = TKLinearGradientFill(colors: [UIColor.redColor(), UIColor.greenColor()], locations: [0, 1])

I hope this helps. If you need further assistance, do not hesitate to contact us.

Can a gradient be applied to an area chart? I'm looking at the iOS demo app and the double curved area chart example has very faint gradients for the red and blue (see attahced). Can I specify what the gradient range should be with "hard" hex values or is there a way to define 1 hex value with opacity or alpha values, like 100% - 40% ?

In the attached image the red is #fff3f3 (lightest) at the top -to- fbdfdd (darker)
