[Codelab help needed]

So, anyways, I'm trying to make a gradient from 0% alpha to 100% alpha and allow my self to choose the size of the gradient and the distance from the edge of the photo/selection. In it's current state, I can get it to go from 195 alpha to 255, which isn't what I want .

Thank you for all your help!

int Amount1=60;	//[0,255]Length
int Amount2=50;	//[0,255]Distance from Edge

   Rectangle selection = this.EnvironmentParameters.GetSelection(src.Bounds).GetBoundsInt();
   //long CenterX = (long)(((selection.Right - selection.Left) / 2)+selection.Left);
   long temp = 0;
   long LeftX = (long)(selection.Left + Amount1);
   long LeftMath, RightMath;
   long RightX = (long)(((selection.Right - selection.Left))+selection.Left - Amount1);
   //long CenterY = (long)(((selection.Bottom - selection.Top) / 2)+selection.Top);
   ColorBgra PrimaryColor = (ColorBgra)EnvironmentParameters.PrimaryColor;

   ColorBgra CurrentPixel;
   for(int y = rect.Top; y < rect.Bottom; y++)
   {
       for (int x = rect.Left; x < rect.Right; x++)
       {
           CurrentPixel = src[x,y];
           // TODO: Add pixel processing code here
           if ((x <= LeftX))
           {
               temp = x;
               LeftMath = temp / LeftX;
           // Access RGBA values this way, for example:
               CurrentPixel.R = (byte)CurrentPixel.R;

               CurrentPixel.B = (byte)CurrentPixel.B;

Anyone know how to make the fractals? I just want a fractal example to help me to get started. (only for personal use plugins though)
