gradient color

layer 不能自动autolay， 只能在viewDidLayout里面设置宽度

- (void) viewDidLayoutSubviews {
  [super viewDidLayoutSubviews]; //if you want superclass's behaviour... 
  // resize your layers based on the view's new frame
  self.editViewBorderLayer.frame = self.editView.bounds;
}

　　

gradientLayer = [CAGradientLayer layer];
_gradientLayer.frame = maskedImageView.bounds;
_gradientLayer.colors = colors;

//set locations for the colors
NSArray * startingLocations = @[@0.0, @0.4,@1.0];
NSArray *endinglocations = @[@0.0,@0.8,@1.0];

// Update the model layer to the final point
_gradientLayer.locations = endinglocations;
_gradientLayer.startPoint = CGPointMake(0.0f, 0.3f);
_gradientLayer.endPoint = CGPointMake(1.0f, 0.5f);

//add the text image as a mask on the gradient layer
_gradientLayer.mask = maskedImageView.layer;

//add the gradient layer to the holder view
[_slideImageView.layer addSublayer:_gradientLayer];

　　

location 代表的是分界线， 比如三个的话就为 @[@(0), @(5), @(1)]

CGFloat red, green, blue, alpha;

//Create a sample color

UIColor *redColor = [UIColor redColor];

//Call 

[redColor getRed: &red 
  green: &green
  blue: &blue 
  alpha: &alpha];
NSLog(@"red = %f. Green = %f. Blue = %f. Alpha = %f",
