# New-RedGreenGradient

## SYNOPSIS

Create an ANSI gradient from red to green

## SYNTAX

```yaml
New-RedGreenGradient [[-Percent] <Double>] [-Step <Int32>] [-Character <Char>] [<CommonParameters>]
```

## DESCRIPTION

You can use this command to create an ANSI colored gradient bar running from red to green. By specifying a percentage, you can provide a visual representation. The closer the percent value is to 1 the more green will be displayed. Use the -Step parameter to adjust the bar length. The smaller the step the longer the bar.

## EXAMPLES

### Example 1

```powershell
PS C:\> PS C:\> New-RedGreenGradient -Percent .75
```

This will display a red to green gradient bar.

### Example 2

```powershell
PS C:\> Get-Volume | Where-Object {$_.FileSystemType -eq 'NTFS' -AND $_.driveletter -match "[C-Zc-z]"} |
Sort-Object -property DriveLetter |
Select-Object -property DriveLetter, FileSystemLabel,
@{Name="FreeGB";Expression={Format-Value -input $_.SizeRemaining -unit GB}},
@{Name = "PctFree"; Expression = {$pct = Format-Percent -value $_.sizeremaining -total $_.size -decimal 2;
"{1} {0}" -f $(New-RedGreenGradient -percent ($pct/100) -step 6),$pct}}

DriveLetter FileSystemLabel FreeGB PctFree
----------- --------------- ------ -------
          C Windows             92 38.84 █████████████████
          D Data               104 21.82 ██████████
```

The bar graph will be colored from red towards green. This example is using format command from the PSScriptTools module.
