Smooth color gradients using only VB6 (NO images)

June 19, 2008

This program demonstrates how to create a smooth color gradient between any two colors on any size of form. While gradients are often used for visual effects, perhaps the most useful aspect of this project is the gradient algorithm itself. Many other algorithms (like image resampling) use variations of the gradient algorithm – so learn it well! :)
