在Swift3试试这个:

 func addGradient(){

    let gradient:CAGradientLayer = CAGradientLayer()
    gradient.frame.size = self.viewThatHoldsGradient.frame.size
    gradient.colors = [UIColor.white.cgColor,UIColor.white.withAlphaComponent(0).cgColor] //Or any colors
    self.viewThatHoldsGradient.layer.addSublayer(gradient)

}

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)

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)

有一个名为Chameleon (https://github.com/viccalexander/Chameleon)的库可以用于渐变颜色。它甚至有渐变的风格来实现。这就是如何在swift 4 podfile中添加它 “变色龙框架/Swift”，:git => 'https://github.com/ViccAlexander/Chameleon.git'，:branch => 'wip/swift4'

import ChameleonFramework

let colors:[UIColor] = [
  UIColor.flatPurpleColorDark(), 
  UIColor.flatWhiteColor()
]
view.backgroundColor = GradientColor(.TopToBottom, frame: view.frame, colors: colors)

用这个自定义类扩展UIView。

GradientView.swift

import UIKit

class GradientView: UIView {

    // Default Colors
    var colors:[UIColor] = [UIColor.redColor(), UIColor.blueColor()]

    override func drawRect(rect: CGRect) {

        // Must be set when the rect is drawn
        setGradient(colors[0], color2: colors[1])
    }

    func setGradient(color1: UIColor, color2: UIColor) {

        let context = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext()
        let gradient = CGGradientCreateWithColors(CGColorSpaceCreateDeviceRGB(), [color1.CGColor, color2.CGColor], [0, 1])!

        // Draw Path
        let path = UIBezierPath(rect: CGRectMake(0, 0, frame.width, frame.height))
        CGContextSaveGState(context)
        path.addClip()
        CGContextDrawLinearGradient(context, gradient, CGPointMake(frame.width / 2, 0), CGPointMake(frame.width / 2, frame.height), CGGradientDrawingOptions())
        CGContextRestoreGState(context)
    }

    override func layoutSubviews() {

        // Ensure view has a transparent background color (not required)
        backgroundColor = UIColor.clearColor()
    }

}

使用

gradientView。colors = [uiccolor . blackcolor ().colorWithAlphaComponent(0.8)， uiccolor . clearcolor ()]

结果

这段代码将与Swift 3.0一起工作

class GradientView: UIView {

    override open class var layerClass: AnyClass {
        get{
            return CAGradientLayer.classForCoder()
        }
    }

    required init?(coder aDecoder: NSCoder) {
        super.init(coder: aDecoder)
        let gradientLayer = self.layer as! CAGradientLayer
        let color1 = UIColor.white.withAlphaComponent(0.1).cgColor as CGColor
        let color2 = UIColor.white.withAlphaComponent(0.9).cgColor as CGColor
        gradientLayer.locations = [0.60, 1.0]
        gradientLayer.colors = [color2, color1]
    }
}
