/* w w w . ja va 2s.co m*/
import javax.swing.JComponent;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
class MyCanvas extends JComponent {
public void paint(Graphics g) {
Graphics2D g2d = (Graphics2D) g;
Color startColor = Color.red;
Color endColor = Color.blue;
int startX = 10, startY = 20, endX = 200, endY = 200;
GradientPaint gradient = new GradientPaint(startX, startY, startColor, endX, endY, endColor);
g2d.setPaint(gradient);
g2d.fill(new Rectangle(20,20,200,200));
}
}
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.
