Are images able to be set without specifying the image name in the Storyboard? For some reason, when I set the image programmatically, to either an image in the project or one downloaded from the web, it doesn't work unless I specify it in the storyboard as well.

@IBOutlet weak var gradientBG: ComplimentaryGradientView!

let bg : UIImage = largeImage
self.gradientBG.image = UIImage(named: "test.png")
self.gradientBG.gradientTpye = .backgroundPrimary
self.gradientBG.gradientStartPoint = .left

This works when I set the following in Storyboard:

However, because I want to generate a gradient from an image downloaded from the web, I cannot set it's filename in Storyboard.

Is there something I'm missing to be able to set a gradient on an image without specifying it's name in Storyboard?

Thank you for the fantastic project!

fixed performance issues:

• avoid recalculate gradient colours everiytime on layout
• avoid to resize images which width is lower that 250px

now gradient layer is always insert as background layer

fixed demo application - now image is subview in gradient view

added gitignore

CocoaPods and Carthage are awesome tools and make our life really easier, but there are some devs who still don't know how to use them.

It would be cool to add the Manual installation guide in your README.md. You can take a look at my iOS Readme Template to see how you can do it.

CustomPoints typealias to modify start and end points of gradient programmatically

public typealias CustomPoints = (startPoint: CGPoint, endPoint: CGPoint)
