iphone Drawing gradient inside a polygon - iphone

Question

I want to draw a gradient inside a polygon using core graphics. I am able to draw a hexagon using the code below but i don't know how to fill this hexagon with a gradient color. Any help will be really appreciated.
- (void)drawRect:(CGRect)rect
{
// Drawing code.
CGContextRef context = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext();
CGContextSetRGBStrokeColor(context, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0);
CGContextSetRGBFillColor(context, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0, 1.0);
CGContextSetLineWidth(context, 2.0);
CGPoint center;
center = CGPointMake(210.0, 90.0);
CGContextMoveToPoint(context, center.x, center.y + 60.0);
for(int i = 1; i < 6; ++i)
{
CGFloat x = 60.0 * sinf(i * 2.0 * M_PI / 6.0);
CGFloat y = 60.0 * cosf(i * 2.0 * M_PI / 6.0);
CGContextAddLineToPoint(context, center.x + x, center.y + y);
}
CGContextClosePath(context);
CGContextDrawPath(context, kCGPathFillStroke);
}

Use following code for Gradient fill
CGContextRef context = UIGraphicsGetCurrentContext();
CGColorSpaceRef rgb = CGColorSpaceCreateDeviceRGB();
CGFloat colors[] =
{
0.62890625, 0.859375, 10.9921875, 1.00,
0.65625, 0.8046875, 0.9453125, 1.00,
};
CGGradientRef gradient = CGGradientCreateWithColorComponents(rgb, colors, NULL, sizeof(colors)/(sizeof(colors[0])*4));
CGColorSpaceRelease(rgb);
// now we can actually create the shape and fill it
CGPoint start, end;
CGContextSetRGBFillColor(context, 0, 0, 0.6, 0.1);
CGContextFillEllipseInRect(context, CGRectMake(0.0, 0.0, 100.0, 100.0));
CGContextStrokeEllipseInRect(context, CGRectMake(0.0, 0.0, 100.0, 100.0));
// Gradient
CGRect myrect = CGRectMake(0.0, 0.0, rect.size.width, rect.size.height);
CGContextSaveGState(context);
CGContextClipToRect(context, myrect);
start = CGPointMake(myrect.origin.x, myrect.origin.y + myrect.size.height * 0.25);
end = CGPointMake(myrect.origin.x, myrect.origin.y + myrect.size.height * 1.0);
CGContextDrawLinearGradient(context, gradient, start, end, kCGGradientDrawsBeforeStartLocation);
CGContextRestoreGState(context);
