Manually drawing a gradient in iPhone apps?

Question

If I have two UIColors, what\'s the best way to draw an even gradient between them over an arbitrarily-sized area?

I am guessing you would create a UIView subclass a

hi you can use following to to apply gradient on view

-(void)applyGradientEffecttoView:(UIView *)aView
 {
     // Create the colors

     UIColor *darkOp = [UIColor colorWithRed:0.0f green:0.0f blue:0.0f alpha:1.0];
     UIColor *lightOp =[UIColor colorWithRed:255.0f green:255.0f blue:255.0f alpha:0.0];

      // Create the gradient
      CAGradientLayer *gradient = [CAGradientLayer layer];

      // Set colors
      gradient.colors = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:
                        (id)lightOp.CGColor,
                        (id)darkOp.CGColor,
                        nil];
     gradient.locations = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:
                          [NSNumber numberWithFloat:0.0f],
                          [NSNumber numberWithFloat:0.5],
                          nil];

    // Set bounds
     gradient.frame = aView.bounds;

   // Add the gradient to the view

  [aView.layer insertSublayer:gradient atIndex:0];
}
