About Here is a library I just wrote over the last hour that draws gradients with variable colour at variable sizes. It means you can simply do: gradientFillX RED, GREEN, START_X, START_Y, END_X, END_Y, to have a red to green gradient that spans from (startX, startY) to (endX, endY). This is meant as friendly advice, but I wrote this in response to problems I saw with HotShots Gradient code snippet. Rather then bitching in the comments section I thought instead I would lead by example. Built as a library (ready to use) Fully documented. Uses common conventions for style. Feel free to pull it apart, port to any language or build on it. Enjoy!

Phoenix	Looks like some very clean and solid code there -- good work! I would like to see more snippets be more meaty ones, like this one.
