Create Cyclic Gradient Paint in Java
Description
The following code shows how to create Cyclic Gradient Paint.
Example
import java.awt.Color;
import java.awt.GradientPaint;
import java.awt.Graphics;
import java.awt.Graphics2D;
import java.awt.geom.Line2D;
import java.awt.geom.Point2D;
import java.awt.geom.Rectangle2D;
/*w w w . j a v a2s. co m*/
import javax.swing.JComponent;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
class MyCanvas extends JComponent {
public void paint(Graphics g) {
Graphics2D g2D = (Graphics2D) g;
Point2D.Float p1 = new Point2D.Float(150.f, 75.f); // Gradient line start
Point2D.Float p2 = new Point2D.Float(250.f, 75.f); // Gradient line end
float width = 300;
float height = 50;
GradientPaint g1 = new GradientPaint(p1, Color.WHITE, p2, Color.DARK_GRAY, true); // Cyclic
// gradient
Rectangle2D.Float rect1 = new Rectangle2D.Float(p1.x - 100, p1.y - 25, width, height);
g2D.setPaint(g1); // Gradient color fill
g2D.fill(rect1); // Fill the rectangle
g2D.setPaint(Color.BLACK); // Outline in black
g2D.draw(rect1); // Fill the rectangle
g2D.draw(new Line2D.Float(p1, p2));
}
}
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] a) {
JFrame window = new JFrame();
window.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
window.setBounds(30, 30, 450, 450);
window.getContentPane().add(new MyCanvas());
window.setVisible(true);
}
}
The code above generates the following result.
