Hi everybody,
I'm trying to fill an oval with a gradient, but the Graphics class
only allows to fill a rectangle with a gradient. The (not very
efficient) solution I implemented so far is filling a rectangle with
the gradient (with fillRectangle(Rectangle r)), then painting all points
within that rectangle that are not contained in the oval with the
background color to 'delete' the gradient points outside the oval, and
finally draw the oval around the 'rest' of the gradient. The Graphics
class offers a method setClip(Path) which seems to offer the needed
functionality, but I haven't figured out so far how I could use it,
especially since the Path object has to be constructed with a Device
object, and I dont't know how to get that, because I don't know how to
access the Display from my figure class. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Andreas

I would love to see any code example that fills a gradient on something
else than a rectangle :)

Not sure why you have a problem with this. Here is a snippet of code that
works for me:
@Override
public void paintClientArea( Graphics graphics )
{
graphics.pushState();
Color lightBlue = new Color( null, 245, 245, 255 );
Rectangle rect = new Rectangle( bounds );
rect.height = 30;
graphics.setBackgroundPattern( new Pattern( null, rect.x, rect.y,
rect.x, rect.y + rect.height, lightBlue,
ColorConstants.darkBlue ) );
graphics.fillOval( rect );
graphics.popState();
}
