* Adds a gradient to the background of an element.

* @example $('div').gradient({ from: '000000', to: 'CCCCCC' });
*
* @param Map options Settings/options to configure the gradient.
* @option String from The hex color code to start the gradient with.
* By default the value is "000000".
* @option String to The hex color code to end the gradient with.
* By default the value is "FFFFFF".
* @option String direction This tells the gradient to be horizontal
* or vertical. By default the value is "horizontal".
* @option Number length This is used to constrain the gradient to a
* particular width or height (depending on the direction). By default
* the length is set to null, which will use the width or height
* (depending on the direction) of the element.
* @option String position This tells the gradient to be positioned
* at the top, bottom, left and/or right within the element. The
* value is just a string that specifices top or bottom and left or right.
* By default the value is 'top left'.
