<style>
 canvas { border: 1px solid black; }
</style>

<script>
var canvas = document.getElementById('canvas1');
var ctx = canvas.getContext('2d');

var grad = ctx.createLinearGradient(0, 0, 1, 512);
grad.addColorStop(0, 'red');
grad.addColorStop(0.5, 'rgba(0,0,255,0.5)');
grad.addColorStop(1, 'lime');
