  - ### LinearGradientPaint

    public LinearGradientPaint(float startX, float startY, float endX, float endY, float[] fractions, int[] colors, MultipleGradientPaint.CycleMethod cycleMethod, MultipleGradientPaint.ColorSpaceType colorSpace, Transform gradientTransform)

    Creates a LinearGradientPaint with the specified settings.

    ###### Parameters

    - `startX`: The startX coordinate of the gradient in user space.

    - `startY`: The startY coordinate of the gradient in user space.

    - `endX`: The endX coordinate of the gradient in user space.

    - `endY`: THe endY coordinate of the gradient in user space.

    - `fractions`: Fractional positions of where gradient colors begin. Each value should be between 0 and 1.

    - `colors`: The colors to use in the gradient. There should be the same number of colors as there are fractions.

    - `cycleMethod`: The cycle method to use.

    - `colorSpace`: The color space to use.

    - `gradientTransform`: Transform to use for the gradient. Not used right now.
