How to draw a rectangle with gradient?

Hello all:

I am using PIL to draw a rectangle filled with color blue.

Is there anyway I could set the fill pattern so that the drawn
rectangle could be filled with
gradient blue?
Thank you
-Daniel

I don't think there is a built-in gradient function, but you could do
something like this:
>>import Image
import ImageDraw
im = Image.new("RGB" , (100, 100))
draw = ImageDraw.Draw( im)
for l in xrange(100):
.... colour = (0, 0, 255 * l / 100)
.... draw.line((0, l, 100, l), fill=colour)
....
>>im.show()
You have to adjust for the size and colours you want of course, and change
the loop so that the gradient is in the right direction.

Hi, how can i draw a rounded rectange, with a border within a specified area? i.e. if i have a Rectangle with width and height of 100, how can i draw a rectange with 2 pixel border inside of the original one? (the current attempts all draw the border just outside of the original rectangle). At the moment im using the following code, but it allows the rectangle to grow - which i definately dont want!

I'm trying to create a form with some rounded controls, and I'm having some problems with the rounding not working correctly. I've tried a couple of different methods for creating the graphics path, including the one from the GDI+ FAQ. It's a pretty simple path, and mathematically it looks just fine. When I apply it to a control though, I have two problems. First, the corners on the right side of the control are obviously not rounded...

I have a panel that contains a label and a picturebox. When clicked, I want to draw a rectangle over everything. I can draw the rect and set the color, no big deal. The problem is because I have to pass the rect of the panel, it draws on that, and under the other controls. How can I force it to draw OVER everything else? Ideally this would also be trackable since the whole thing(panel and children) will be dragable. This is what i've got...
