/**
 * The {@code LinearGradientPaint} class provides a way to fill
 * a {@link java.awt.Shape} with a linear color gradient pattern.  The user
 * may specify two or more gradient colors, and this paint will provide an
 * interpolation between each color.  The user also specifies start and end
 * points which define where in user space the color gradient should begin
 * and end.
 * <p>
 * The user must provide an array of floats specifying how to distribute the
 * colors along the gradient.  These values should range from 0.0 to 1.0 and
 * act like keyframes along the gradient (they mark where the gradient should
 * be exactly a particular color).
 * <p>
 * In the event that the user does not set the first keyframe value equal
 * to 0 and/or the last keyframe value equal to 1, keyframes will be created
 * at these positions and the first and last colors will be replicated there.
 * So, if a user specifies the following arrays to construct a gradient:<br>
 * <pre>
 *     {Color.BLUE, Color.RED}, {.3f, .7f}
 * </pre>
 * this will be converted to a gradient with the following keyframes:<br>
 * <pre>
 *     {Color.BLUE, Color.BLUE, Color.RED, Color.RED}, {0f, .3f, .7f, 1f}
 * </pre>
 *
 * <p>
 * The user may also select what action the {@code LinearGradientPaint} object
 * takes when it is filling the space outside the start and end points by
 * setting {@code CycleMethod} to either {@code REFLECTION} or {@code REPEAT}.
 * The distances between any two colors in any of the reflected or repeated
 * copies of the gradient are the same as the distance between those same two
 * colors between the start and end points.
 * Note that some minor variations in distances may occur due to sampling at
 * the granularity of a pixel.
 * If no cycle method is specified, {@code NO_CYCLE} will be chosen by
 * default, which means the endpoint colors will be used to fill the
 * remaining area.
 * <p>
 * The colorSpace parameter allows the user to specify in which colorspace
 * the interpolation should be performed, default sRGB or linearized RGB.
 *
 * <p>
 * The following code demonstrates typical usage of
 * {@code LinearGradientPaint}:
 * <pre>
 *     Point2D start = new Point2D.Float(0, 0);
 *     Point2D end = new Point2D.Float(50, 50);
 *     float[] dist = {0.0f, 0.2f, 1.0f};
 *     Color[] colors = {Color.RED, Color.WHITE, Color.BLUE};
 *     LinearGradientPaint p =
 *         new LinearGradientPaint(start, end, dist, colors);
 * </pre>
 * <p>
 * This code will create a {@code LinearGradientPaint} which interpolates
 * between red and white for the first 20% of the gradient and between white
 * and blue for the remaining 80%.
 *
 * <p>
 * This image demonstrates the example code above for each
 * of the three cycle methods:
