[Gambas-user] Image.Gradient help please

[M0E Lnx]

I'm trying to create a text label with a gradient background
(white-to-blue, left to right)
I've been reading abotu image.gradient in the gb.image section of the
wiki, but I'm having a hard time understanding how this is supposed to
work

Has anyone done this before?
Can anyone think of a way to do this?
I'd rather try to get gambas to do this instead of drawing hard images
of the text labels
