`EZYGradientView` is a different and unique take on creating gradients and gradients with blur on the iOS platform. The default `CAGradientLayer` implementation works just fine, but is confusing and gives different results than expected. From the documentation:

It's not really clear what the mapped values for the start and end points will be. If we set the start x coordinate 0.2, it does not resolve to 0.2 of the view's width on the X-axis.

This library attempts to create gradients intuitively. When you use `EZYGradientView`, you don't need to worry about Apple's default API. What you do need to concern yourself with is:

* What your colors are

* The angle of the gradient

* The ratio in which the two colors are distributed; and finally...

* The intensity with which the colors are dispersed

`EZYGradientView` exposes five properties you can modify to customize your gradient. The view itself is `IBDesignable` and its properties `IBInspectable` which means you can customize your gradient in real time on an xib or storyboard.

###For [Objective C](https://github.com/shashankpali/EZYGradientView-ObjC)

Just follow these simple steps and create a gradient inside your xib or storyboard!

| Step | Description |

|-------------------------------|----------------|

|  | Default is 0º. |

|  | At 45º. |

|  | At 135º. |

| Step | Description |

|-------------------------------|-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

|  | Default is 0.5, that's why colors are equally divided. Valid range 0 to 1. |

|  | At 0.1, the first color takes one-tenth of the view area. The rest is filled by the second. |

|  | At 0.9, the first color takes nine-tenths of the view area. The rest is filled by the second. |

| Step | Description |

|-------------------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

|  | Default is 0, that's why there is a sharp boundary where the two colors meet. Valid range 0 to 1. |

|  | At 0.5, there is a much smoother transition between the two colors. |

|  | At 1, the maximum transition smoothness is achieved. |

######(This feature is available for ios 8 and above)

| Step | Description |

|-------------------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|

|  | Default is 0, where the blur transparency is minimmum. Valid range 0 to 1. |

|  | At 1.0, where the blur transparency is maximum.(The black spot is a label behind gradient view) |

| Suggestion | Use this properties to design `navigationBar`, `tabBar`, `tableHeaderView` etc. |

let gradientView = EZYGradientView()

gradientView.frame = view.bounds

gradientView.firstColor = UIColor(red: 0.5, green: 0.0, blue: 1.0, alpha: 1.0)

gradientView.secondColor = UIColor(red: 0.4, green: 1.0, blue: 0.8, alpha: 1.0)

gradientView.angleº = 185.0

gradientView.colorRatio = 0.5

gradientView.fadeIntensity = 1

gradientView.isBlur = true

gradientView.blurOpacity = 0.5

view.insertSubview(gradientView, atIndex: 0)

* Allow more than two colors to create gradients.

* It may crash if blur properties used in lower version than ios 8.

* Use CoreGraphics blur to replace `UIVisualEffectView`.
