public final class RadialGradientPaint extends MultipleGradientPaint
The RadialGradientPaint class provides a way to fill a shape with a circular radial color gradient pattern. The user may specify 2 or more gradient colors, and this paint will provide an interpolation between each color.
The user must specify the circle controlling the gradient pattern, which is described by a center point and a radius. The user can also specify a separate focus point within that circle, which controls the location of the first color of the gradient. By default the focus is set to be the center of the circle.
This paint will map the first color of the gradient to the focus point, and the last color to the perimeter of the circle, interpolating smoothly for any in-between colors specified by the user. Any line drawn from the focus point to the circumference will thus span all the gradient colors.
Specifying a focus point outside of the radius of the circle will cause the rings of the gradient pattern to be centered on the point just inside the edge of the circle in the direction of the focus point. The rendering will internally use this modified location as if it were the specified focus point.
The user must provide an array of floats specifying how to distribute the colors along the gradient. These values should range from 0.0 to 1.0 and act like keyframes along the gradient (they mark where the gradient should be exactly a particular color).
In the event that the user does not set the first keyframe value equal to 0 and/or the last keyframe value equal to 1, keyframes will be created at these positions and the first and last colors will be replicated there. So, if a user specifies the following arrays to construct a gradient:
{Color.BLUE, Color.RED}, {.3f, .7f} this will be converted to a gradient with the following keyframes:{Color.BLUE, Color.BLUE, Color.RED, Color.RED}, {0f, .3f, .7f, 1f} The user may also select what action the RadialGradientPaint object takes when it is filling the space outside the circle's radius by setting CycleMethod to either REFLECTION or REPEAT. The gradient color proportions are equal for any particular line drawn from the focus point. The following figure shows that the distance AB is equal to the distance BC, and the distance AD is equal to the distance DE.
NO_CYCLE will be chosen by default, which means the the last keyframe color will be used to fill the remaining area. The colorSpace parameter allows the user to specify in which colorspace the interpolation should be performed, default sRGB or linearized RGB.
The following code demonstrates typical usage of RadialGradientPaint, where the center and focus points are the same:
Point2D center = new Point2D.Float(50, 50);
float radius = 25;
float[] dist = {0.0f, 0.2f, 1.0f};
Color[] colors = {Color.RED, Color.WHITE, Color.BLUE};
RadialGradientPaint p =
new RadialGradientPaint(center, radius, dist, colors); This image demonstrates the example code above, with default (centered) focus for each of the three cycle methods:
It is also possible to specify a non-centered focus point, as in the following code:
Point2D center = new Point2D.Float(50, 50);
float radius = 25;
Point2D focus = new Point2D.Float(40, 40);
float[] dist = {0.0f, 0.2f, 1.0f};
Color[] colors = {Color.RED, Color.WHITE, Color.BLUE};
RadialGradientPaint p =
new RadialGradientPaint(center, radius, focus,
dist, colors,
CycleMethod.NO_CYCLE); This image demonstrates the previous example code, with non-centered focus for each of the three cycle methods:

public Point2D getCenterPoint()
Returns a copy of the center point of the radial gradient.
Point2D object that is a copy of the center pointpublic Point2D getFocusPoint()
Returns a copy of the focus point of the radial gradient. Note that if the focus point specified when the radial gradient was constructed lies outside of the radius of the circle, this method will still return the original focus point even though the rendering may center the rings of color on a different point that lies inside the radius.
Point2D object that is a copy of the focus pointpublic float getRadius()
Returns the radius of the circle defining the radial gradient.
