字体颜色渐变
我们先看看二颜色渐变效果：

左面Scene场景是网格状态。
通过Scene场景我们可以看见，我们需要向中间插入两个点，做个顶点过渡。
顶点部署应该是这样的：
* TL--------TR
* | |
* | |
* CL--------CR
* | |
* | |
* BL--------BR
首先我们要知道，显示文本有个文本区域，而这个区域的坐标是基于局部坐标，所以我们要先转出到屏幕坐标，然后再换算。
准备的变量和枚举：
public enum GradientType
{
TowColor = 0,
ThreeColor,
}
[SerializeField] private GradientType m_GradientType = GradientType.TowColor;
[SerializeField] private Color32 m_TopColor = Color.white;
[SerializeField] private Color32 m_MiddleColor = Color.white;
[SerializeField] private Color32 m_BottomColor = Color.black;
[Range(0f, 1f)] [SerializeField] private float m_ColorOffset = 0.5f;
[SerializeField] private Camera m_UICamera;
private List iVertices = new List();
核心换算代码：
vh.GetUIVertexStream(iVertices);
vh.Clear();
for (int i = 0; i < iVertices.Count; i += 6)
{
UIVertex TL = iVertices[i + 0];
UIVertex TR = iVertices[i + 1];
UIVertex CR = iVertices[i + 2];
UIVertex CL = iVertices[i + 4];
UIVertex BL = iVertices[i + 4];
UIVertex BR = iVertices[i + 2];
Vector2 uvTL = iVertices[i + 0].uv0;
Vector2 uvTR = iVertices[i + 1].uv0;
Vector2 uvBR = iVertices[i + 2].uv0;
Vector2 uvBL = iVertices[i + 4].uv0;
Vector3 TR_World_Pos = this.transform.TransformPoint(TR.position);
Vector3 BR_World_Pos = this.transform.TransformPoint(BR.position);
Vector3 TR_Screen_Pos = TR_World_Pos;
Vector3 BR_Screen_Pos = BR_World_Pos;
if (this.m_UICamera != null)
{
TR_Screen_Pos = this.m_UICamera.WorldToScreenPoint(TR_World_Pos);
BR_Screen_Pos = this.m_UICamera.WorldToScreenPoint(BR_World_Pos);
}
float yHeight = (TR_Screen_Pos.y - BR_Screen_Pos.y) * this.m_ColorOffset;
Vector2 C_Screen_Pos = new Vector2(TR_Screen_Pos.x, TR_Screen_Pos.y - yHeight);
if (this.m_UICamera != null)
{
C_Screen_Pos = this.m_UICamera.ScreenToWorldPoint(C_Screen_Pos);
}
CR.position = this.transform.InverseTransformPoint(C_Screen_Pos);
CL.position.y = CR.position.y;
CR.uv0.y = CR.uv0.y * this.m_ColorOffset;
CL.uv0.y = CL.uv0.y * this.m_ColorOffset;
TL.color = this.m_TopColor;
TR.color = this.m_TopColor;
CR.color = this.m_MiddleColor;
CL.color = this.m_MiddleColor;
BL.color = this.m_BottomColor;
BR.color = this.m_BottomColor;
vh.AddVert(TL);
vh.AddVert(TR);
vh.AddVert(CR);
vh.AddVert(CL);
vh.AddVert(BL);
vh.AddVert(BR);
}
上面的代码意思就是先清理原始数据，然后把坐标转到屏幕坐标系上，需要经过两步 局部坐标 => 世界坐标 => 屏幕坐标，然后给y做某个点上距离缩放：
屏幕坐标计算
float yHeight = (TR_Screen_Pos.y - BR_Screen_Pos.y) * this.m_ColorOffset;在这个距离做个缩放，TR_Screen_Pos.y - yHeight 计算出来差值，就是我们需要的中点高度。（CR\CL的高度是一样的，计算一次即可，X值保留默认。）
接下来添加三角面：
for (int i = 0; i < vh.currentVertCount; i += 6)
{
if (this.m_GradientType == GradientType.ThreeColor)
{
vh.AddTriangle(i + 0, i + 1, i + 2);
vh.AddTriangle(i + 2, i + 3, i + 0);
vh.AddTriangle(i + 3, i + 2, i + 5);
vh.AddTriangle(i + 5, i + 4, i + 3);
}
else
{
vh.AddTriangle(i + 0, i + 1, i + 5);
vh.AddTriangle(i + 0, i + 5, i + 4);
}
}
大致就是这些。
补充，上面版本有些bug，核心算法做个优化：

* CL--------CR
* | |
* | |
* BL--------BR
