How to change CAGradientLayer color points?

Question

Right now I\'ve got a GA Gradient layer where I\'ve set the colors but I\'d like to set the color point to (instead of top center, to top left) and the bottom to (instead of

Answer 1

The startPoint and endPoint properties of a CAGradientLayer are defined in the “unit coordinate system”. In the unit coordinate system:

• (0,0) corresponds to the smallest coordinates of the layer's bounds rectangle, which on iOS is its upper-left corner unless the layer has been transformed;
• (1,1) corresponds to the largest coordinates of the layer's bounds rectangle, which on iOS is its lower-right corner unless the layer has been transformed.

Thus arranging your gradient the way you want should be this simple:

gradient.startPoint = CGPoint.zero
gradient.endPoint = CGPoint(x: 1, y: 1)
