Looking for a good way to draw a 45deg linear gradient. Came across this SO, but wondering if there’s a more up-to-date alternative 🤔

I filed a bug for this!

But besides that SO post, I haven't found anything else either

You can also use matrices to rotate your gradient

[andrew]

val shader = SweepGradientShader(
                Offset(width / 2, width / 2),
                colors,
                List(colors.size) {
                    _sweepDeg * (it.toFloat() / (colors.size - 1)) / 360F
                }
            ).apply {
                val matrix = Matrix()
                matrix.postRotate(_startDeg - capDeg, width / 2, width / 2)
                setLocalMatrix(matrix)
            }

Replace it with linear gradient

Here was my ticket in case anyone wants to +1

Oh that's an interesting idea @andrew, thanks!
