Stroke gradient not supported?

[gbuela]

Hello, I'm trying to set some shape's stroke to a gradient and it's not getting rendered. Is that not supported? Is it something that you could add?

HI @gbuela do you have an SVG sample file I can check.

There is basic support for stroking with a gradient on Apple platforms. There are limitations to the technique SwiftDraw uses that can cause the gradient to be rendered differently to the SVG standard.

See this sample:

Here's a sample

I have extended the logic for determining the gradient start, end points to shapes and polygons. Try it out on the main branch

Yup it seems to work fine!
