How to add color gradient to a figure ( can't call getGC from Figure ?) [message #195255]

Hi,

I am trying to add color gradient to a figure. I think that I can use
GC.fillGradientRectangle to add the gradient and there is a static
method FigureUtitlite.getGC() to get my GC. However the getGC static
method is deprecated. Is there other alternatives ?

Thanks for any info.

You should be overwriting your figure's paintFigure(Graphics g) method which
provides you with the necessary Graphics object which in turn has a method
fillGradient(...)

Hope that helps...
