Scaling Gradients

[Monte Goulding]

I don't see why you need to do this operation while scaling. It would appear to be a different use case. If you do need to rotate and scale at the same time then why not work out your scaling factor, rotate the points then scale the rect. Same as Mark's idea but no extra graphic created.
