fill_gradient_RGB()

void fl::fill_gradient_RGB	(	CRGB *	leds,
		u16	startpos,
		CRGB	startcolor,
		u16	endpos,
		CRGB	endcolor )

Fill a range of LEDs with a smooth RGB gradient between two RGB colors.

Unlike HSV, there is no "color wheel" in RGB space, and therefore there's only one "direction" for the gradient to go. This means there's no TGradientDirectionCode parameter for direction.

Parameters

leds	a pointer to the LED array to fill
startpos	the starting position in the array
startcolor	the starting color for the gradient
endpos	the ending position in the array
endcolor	the end color for the gradient
