| Methods' Summary | 
| createLinearHorizontalGradient | Create a linear gradient. 
The gradient varies linearly between leftColor and rightColor 
in the x direction, and has constant color for fixed x 
coordinate value in y direction | 
| createAxialHorizontalGradient | Create an axial gradient. 
The gradient has middleColor in the middle, and varies 
linearly between middleColor and endColor to both sides in the 
x direction. For fixed x coordinate, the gradient has constant 
color value in y direction. | 
| createEllipticalGradient | Create an elliptical gradient. 
The gradient has centerColor in the middle, and varies 
linearly between center and endColor via concentric ellipses 
around the center point. Note that the absolute size of the 
rectangle given at this method does not matter, only it's 
aspect ratio: if this aspect ratio is 1, the gradient is 
circular. If it's not 1, the gradient is elliptical, with the 
special twist that the aspect ratio is maintained also for the 
center color: the gradient will not collapse into a single 
point, but become a line of center color. | 
| createRectangularGradient | Create a rectangular gradient. 
The gradient has centerColor in the middle, and varies 
linearly between center and endColor via rectangular boxes 
around the center point. Note that the absolute size of the 
rectangle given at this method does not matter, only it's 
aspect ratio: if this aspect ratio is 1, the gradient is 
quadratic. If it's not 1, the gradient is rectangular, with 
the special twist that the aspect ratio is maintained also for 
the center color: the gradient will not collapse into a single 
point, but become a line of center color. | 
| createVerticalLinesHatch | Create a line hash of vertical lines. 
The hashing consists of vertical lines, with colors varying 
linearly between leftColor and rightColor, when going from 
left to right | 
| createOrthogonalLinesHatch | Create a line hash of orthogonally crossing lines. 
The hashing consists of vertical and horizontal lines, with 
colors varying linearly between leftTopColor and 
rightBottomColor, when going from left to right (for the 
vertical lines) and from top tzo bottom (for the horizontal 
lines). | 
| createThreeCrossingLinesHatch | Create a repeating line hash pattern of three crossing lines. 
The hashing consists of vertical and horizontal lines plus 
diagonal lines from left, top to bottom, right. Each of the 
three groups of lines varies the line color of distinct lines 
linearly from startColor to endColor, starting at the leftmost 
or topmost position. | 
| createFourCrossingLinesHatch | Create a repeating line hash pattern of four crossing lines. 
The hashing consists of vertical and horizontal lines plus 
diagonal lines in both directions. Each of the four groups of 
lines varies the line color of distinct lines linearly from 
startColor to endColor, starting at the leftmost or topmost 
position. |
