MultipleGradientPaint (Java Platform SE 6) (original) (raw)

java.awt

Class MultipleGradientPaint

java.lang.Object extended by java.awt.MultipleGradientPaint

All Implemented Interfaces:

Paint, Transparency

Direct Known Subclasses:

LinearGradientPaint, RadialGradientPaint

public abstract class MultipleGradientPaint

extends Object

implements Paint

This is the superclass for Paints which use a multiple color gradient to fill in their raster. It provides storage for variables and enumerated values common toLinearGradientPaint and RadialGradientPaint.

Since:

1.6

Nested Class Summary
static class	MultipleGradientPaint.ColorSpaceType The color space in which to perform the gradient interpolation.
static class	MultipleGradientPaint.CycleMethod The method to use when painting outside the gradient bounds.

Field Summary

Fields inherited from interface java.awt.Transparency
BITMASK, OPAQUE, TRANSLUCENT

Method Summary
Color[]	getColors() Returns a copy of the array of colors used by this gradient.
MultipleGradientPaint.ColorSpaceType	getColorSpace() Returns the enumerated type which specifies color space for interpolation.
MultipleGradientPaint.CycleMethod	getCycleMethod() Returns the enumerated type which specifies cycling behavior.
float[]	getFractions() Returns a copy of the array of floats used by this gradient to calculate color distribution.
AffineTransform	getTransform() Returns a copy of the transform applied to the gradient.
int	getTransparency() Returns the transparency mode for this Paint object.

Method Detail

getFractions

public final float[] getFractions()

Returns a copy of the array of floats used by this gradient to calculate color distribution. The returned array always has 0 as its first value and 1 as its last value, with increasing values in between.

Returns:

a copy of the array of floats used by this gradient to calculate color distribution

getColors

public final Color[] getColors()

Returns a copy of the array of colors used by this gradient. The first color maps to the first value in the fractions array, and the last color maps to the last value in the fractions array.

Returns:

a copy of the array of colors used by this gradient

getCycleMethod

public final MultipleGradientPaint.CycleMethod getCycleMethod()

Returns the enumerated type which specifies cycling behavior.

Returns:

the enumerated type which specifies cycling behavior

getColorSpace

public final MultipleGradientPaint.ColorSpaceType getColorSpace()

Returns the enumerated type which specifies color space for interpolation.

Returns:

the enumerated type which specifies color space for interpolation

getTransform

public final AffineTransform getTransform()

Returns a copy of the transform applied to the gradient.

Returns:

a copy of the transform applied to the gradient

getTransparency

public final int getTransparency()

Returns the transparency mode for this Paint object.

Specified by:

[getTransparency](../../java/awt/Transparency.html#getTransparency%28%29) in interface [Transparency](../../java/awt/Transparency.html "interface in java.awt")

Returns:

an integer value representing the transparency mode for this Paint object
