Swift 3 -只使用纹理和SKSpriteNode，不需要UIView

import Foundation
import SpriteKit

class GradientSpriteNode : SKSpriteNode
{
    convenience init(size: CGSize, colors: [UIColor], locations: [CGFloat])
    {
        let texture = GradientSpriteNode.texture(size: size, colors: colors, locations: locations)
        self.init(texture: texture, color:SKColor.clear, size: texture.size())
    }

    private override init(texture: SKTexture!, color: SKColor, size: CGSize) {
        super.init(texture: texture, color: color, size: size)
    }

    required init?(coder aDecoder: NSCoder) {
        fatalError("init(coder:) has not been implemented")
    }

    private static func texture(size: CGSize, colors: [UIColor], locations: [CGFloat]) -> SKTexture
    {
        UIGraphicsBeginImageContext(size)
        let context = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext()!
        let gradient = CGGradient(colorsSpace: CGColorSpaceCreateDeviceRGB(), colors: colors.map{$0.cgColor} as CFArray, locations: locations)!
        context.drawLinearGradient(gradient, start: CGPoint(x: size.width / 2, y: 0), end: CGPoint(x: size.width / 2, y: size.height), options: CGGradientDrawingOptions())
        let image = UIGraphicsGetImageFromCurrentImageContext()
        UIGraphicsEndImageContext()
        return SKTexture(image: image!)

    }
}

用法:

let gradient = GradientSpriteNode(
        size: CGSize(width: 100, height: 100),
        colors: [UIColor.red, UIColor.blue],
        locations: [0.0, 1.0])
addChild(gradient)

我想添加一个渐变到一个视图，然后使用自动布局锚定它。

    class GradientView: UIView {

    private let gradient: CAGradientLayer = {
        let layer = CAGradientLayer()
        let topColor: UIColor = UIColor(red:0.98, green:0.96, blue:0.93, alpha:0.5)
        let bottomColor: UIColor = UIColor.white
        layer.colors = [topColor.cgColor, bottomColor.cgColor]
        layer.locations = [0,1]
        return layer
    }()

    init() {
        super.init(frame: .zero)
        gradient.frame = frame
        layer.insertSublayer(gradient, at: 0)
    }

    required init?(coder aDecoder: NSCoder) {
        fatalError("init(coder:) has not been implemented")
    }

    override func layoutSubviews() {
        super.layoutSubviews()
        gradient.frame = bounds

    }
}

如果你需要改变渐变的方向你必须使用startPoint和endPoint。

let gradient: CAGradientLayer = CAGradientLayer()

gradient.colors = [UIColor.blue.cgColor, UIColor.red.cgColor]
gradient.locations = [0.0 , 1.0]
gradient.startPoint = CGPoint(x: 0.0, y: 1.0)
gradient.endPoint = CGPoint(x: 1.0, y: 1.0)
gradient.frame = CGRect(x: 0.0, y: 0.0, width: self.view.frame.size.width, height: self.view.frame.size.height)

self.view.layer.insertSublayer(gradient, at: 0)

添加渐变到图层，添加:

let layer = CAGradientLayer()
layer.frame = CGRect(x: 64, y: 64, width: 120, height: 120)
layer.colors = [UIColor.red.cgColor, UIColor.blue.cgColor]
view.layer.addSublayer(layer)

这是一个快速扩展，你可以通过任意数量的颜色。在插入一个渐变图层之前，它会删除之前的任何渐变图层，如果需要的话，它会返回新插入的渐变图层进行进一步的操作:

    extension UIView {

    /**
     Given an Array of CGColor, it will:
        - Remove all sublayers of type CAGradientLayer.
        - Create and insert a new CAGradientLayer.

     - Parameters: 
        - colors: An Array of CGColor with the colors for the gradient fill

     - Returns: The newly created gradient CAGradientLayer
     */
    func layerGradient(colors c:[CGColor])->CAGradientLayer {
        self.layer.sublayers = self.layer.sublayers?.filter(){!($0 is CAGradientLayer)}
        let layer : CAGradientLayer = CAGradientLayer()
        layer.frame.size = self.frame.size
        layer.frame.origin = CGPointZero
        layer.colors = c
        self.layer.insertSublayer(layer, atIndex: 0)
        return layer
    }
}

SwiftUI:你可以使用线性梯度结构作为ZStack的第一个元素。作为ZStack的“底部”，它将作为背景色。AngularGradient和RadialGradient也可用。

import SwiftUI

struct ContentView: View {
    var body: some View {
        ZStack {
            LinearGradient(gradient: Gradient(colors: [.red, .blue]), startPoint: .top, endPoint: .bottom)
                .edgesIgnoringSafeArea(.all)
            // Put other content here; it will appear on top of the background gradient
        }
    }
}
