How to do Angled Gradient Fills

Hi,
I'm trying to work out an easy way to do a path stroke gradient fill.
What I'm trying to do is:
I have a path that is a curved line and what I want to do is gradient fill from the path to a number of pixels perpendicular to the path. (On both sides - but of course one side is good enough - I then just have to do it twice using the median colour)
Not a problem if I have to stroke the path as a line then work with the bitmap (which is what I did below for the straight line)
If it was a straight line - that's easy enough, but since it is a curve (actually lots of them) I can't work out how to do it (except of course to manually colour it in with the air brush - though I'm no good at doing that at all)
Here's a simple example of 2 colours and then for the straight line, the gradient fill, then for the curved line - ?

-Any help greatly appreciated
