Depends what you mean by "gradient tools".

Bernd Niggemann and myself we have integrated the Rev. 3  gradient tools 
into the sample stack "More about Mask Rev3"

<http://www.sanke.org/Software/MoreAboutMasksRev3.zip>

which uses some possibilities of the gradient tools to create gradient 
masks. See card "using gradient tools" of this stack..

But there are several other stacks and tools to be found in our 
Metacard/Rev community which deal with gradients in different ways.
For my part, I might mention various algorithms contained in my 
"Imagedata Toolkits" that either transform photos into gradient patterns 
with varying widths and heights of the gradient elements inside a 
picture or where uni- and -bi-directional gradients are created from 
scratch.

These latter "gradient tools" do not rely on the new Rev 3 features, but 
can be used with any version of Metacard.
