Does anyone know if it possible to fill an NSRect with a gradient. I
envision creating a rectangle that looks like the ones in iCal, they
have that smooth color gradient. I have figured out how to create
shadows for my rectangles, but don't know how to do a gradient.
Also, I have tried to figure out how to draw a rect with rounded
corners but haven't had any luck. I found this

drawingroundedrect.002.txt in the archives, but it didn't work for me.
My rectangles weren't rectangles at all!
Any help would be appreciated.
On Jaguar, take a look in the Core Graphics docs at:
file:///Developer/Documentation/CoreTechnologies/graphics/Quartz2D/
WhatsNewQuartz2D/New/CGShading/index.html
These functions will produce PDF gradients, which have the advantage
that when you go to print your view, you'll get the gradient at the
full resolution of the printer and won't see any banding.
