public class GradientPaint extends Object implements Paint
GradientPaint class provides a way to fill
a Shape with a linear color gradient pattern.
If Point P1 with Color C1 and Point P2 with
Color C2 are specified in user space, the
Color on the P1, P2 connecting line is proportionally
changed from C1 to C2. Any point P not on the extended P1, P2
connecting line has the color of the point P' that is the perpendicular
projection of P on the extended P1, P2 connecting line.
Points on the extended line outside of the P1, P2 segment can be colored
in one of two ways.
Color C1 while points on the P2 side
have the constant Color C2.

Creates and returns a
PaintContext used to
generate a linear color gradient pattern. |
Color |
getColor1() |
Returns the color C1 anchored by the point P1.
|
Color |
getColor2() |
Returns the color C2 anchored by the point P2.
|
Point2D |
getPoint1() |
Returns a copy of the point P1 that anchors the first color.
|
Point2D |
getPoint2() |
Returns a copy of the point P2 which anchors the second color.
|
int |
getTransparency() |
Returns the transparency mode for this
GradientPaint. |
boolean |
isCyclic() |
Returns
true if the gradient cycles repeatedly
between the two colors C1 and C2. |
