Hi,

i have a code to make a gradient color filled rectangle.

to achieve this, it do an iteration for each line of the rectanglen
inside the loop, he compute each canal of the color, like this:

((EndRed-StartRed)/[endY-starty]) * yindex

then he combine the 3 canals (red<<16|green <<8 |blue) and draw the line in the computed color.

the code below works, but i think it could be optimized.
Can somebody help me with this?

Code:
.VerticalGradient:
                push ebp
                mov ebp,esp
                pusha

note: this code can do a gradient from 00 to FF, and from FF to 00 (for each canal independently)

it can be optimised by computing the gradient with besenham algorithm, and putting this algo in a single function called for each color component.

Is it possible for 'DrawLine' to take, say, 95% of the time in that function?
If yes, then why optimize the rest?

I see... this is why some products never get done (3DRealms fiasco).
