DirectionalGradientPaintTransformer (JFreeChart as OSGI-bundle 1.5.6 API)

java.lang.Object
- org.jfree.chart.util.DirectionalGradientPaintTransformer

All Implemented Interfaces:

GradientPaintTransformer
```
public class DirectionalGradientPaintTransformer
extends Object
implements GradientPaintTransformer
```
Transforms a GradientPaint to range over the width of a target shape. The orientation of the resulting GradientPaint depend on the coordinates of the original paint:
- If the original paint starts at 0,0 and ends at a point 0, y != 0, the resulting paint will have a vertical orientation.
- If the original paint starts at 0,0 and ends at a point x !=0, 0, the resulting paint will have a horizontal orientation.
- If the original paint starts at 0,0 and ends at a point x != 0, y != 0, the resulting paint will have a diagonal orientation from the upper left to the lower right edge. Lines of equal color will have a 45 ∞ angle, pointing upwards from left to right.
- If the original paint starts at a point x != 0, y != 0, the resulting paint will have a diagonal orientation from the lower left to the upper right edge. Lines of equal color will have a 45 ∞ angle, pointing downwards from left to right.
In all cases, the cyclic flag of the original paint will be taken into account.
