It seems that currently the only object that can be filled with a
gradient is a rectangle, using a call to GC.fillGradientRectangle()


Is there any way to do a gradient fill on other kinds of objects like
Rounded Rectangles, ovals and polygons , etc?
Also is there any way to draw lines in gradient colors?

Why doesn't SWT provide methods like GC.fillGradientRoundedRectangle(),
GC.fillGradientCircle()?

Why is the gradient method provided only for rectangles?
Is it possible in any way to do a gradient fill on other kind of objects?

You can use polygon Regions and GC.setClipping(Region) to draw non
rectanglar gradients.

You can also use 3.1 API GC.setBackgroundPattern() with a linear gradient
org.eclipse.swt.graphics.Pattern.
