RGSHueView

A while back I created RGSColorSlider and while doing so I used an image for the color gradient track. Using an image is not ideal but, at the time, assessable. While browsing Github one day I stumble across GradientProgressView. GradientProgressView in it’s own right is a cool project, but what was surprising is the creation of a hue gradient purely in code. I really liked this solution so much I decide to create it in swift.

Simply added RGSHueView.swift to your project then declare your UIView as RGSHueView and you’re good to.

private func commonInit()  {		
  guard let gradientLayer = self.layer as? CAGradientLayer else { return }		
         		
  gradientLayer.startPoint = CGPointMake(0.0, 0.5)		
  gradientLayer.endPoint = CGPointMake(1.0, 0.5)		
         		
  let colors : NSMutableArray = []		
  var deq = 0		
  while deq <= 360 {		
    let color = UIColor(hue: 1.0 * CGFloat(deq) / 360.0, saturation: 1.0, brightness: 1.0, alpha: 1.0)		
    colors.addObject(color.CGColor)		
              		
    deq += 5		
  }		
  gradientLayer.colors = colors as [AnyObject]		
}
