# setColors(_:locations:)

Sets the iOS colors and corresponding unit distance values to create gradients.

## Declaration

```swift
func setColors(_ colors: [UIColor], locations: [CGFloat])
```

## Parameters

- `colors`: An array of colors making up the transition points of the gradient.
- `locations`: An array of unit distance values that correspond to the provided colors.

## Discussion

Discussion The unit distance value of 0 represents the start of the polyline, and 1 represents the end of the polyline. A gradient may have any number of steps along the length of the polyline. To determine a location along the polyline, use location(atPointIndex:), or retrieve a set of locations using locations.
