• Gradient creation.
• Custom starting and ending points.
• Shadow color, blur, and opacity.
• Shadow offset and spread.
• Custom border radius.
• Gradient and shadow animations.

MRBGradientView can be installed with CocoaPods.

In your Podfile, add MRBGradientView.

pod 'MRBGradientView'

Then install your Pods.
