## Detailed Description

The QRadialGradient class is used in combination with QBrush to specify a radial gradient brush.

Radial gradients interpolate colors between a focal point and end points on a circle surrounding it. Outside the end points the gradient is either padded, reflected or repeated depending on the currently set spread method:

PadSpread (default) | ReflectSpread | RepeatSpread

The colors in a gradient is defined using stop points of the QGradientStop type, i.e. a position and a color. Use the QGradient.setColorAt() or the QGradient.setStops() function to define the stop points. It is the gradient's complete set of stop points that describes how the gradient area should be filled. If no stop points have been specified, a gradient of black at 0 to white at 1 is used.

In addition to the functions inherited from QGradient, the QRadialGradient class provides the center(), focalPoint() and radius() functions returning the gradient's center, focal point and radius respectively.

## Method Documentation

### QRadialGradient.__init__ (self)

Constructs a radial gradient with the center and focal point at (0, 0) with a radius of 1.

### QRadialGradient.__init__ (self, QPointF center, float radius, QPointF focalPoint)

Constructs a radial gradient with the given center, radius and focalPoint.

See also QGradient.setColorAt() and QGradient.setStops().

### QRadialGradient.__init__ (self, QPointF center, float radius)

Constructs a radial gradient with the given center (cx, cy), radius and focal point (fx, fy).

See also QGradient.setColorAt() and QGradient.setStops().

### QRadialGradient.__init__ (self, float cx, float cy, float radius, float fx, float fy)

Constructs a radial gradient with the given center, radius and the focal point in the circle center.

See also QGradient.setColorAt() and QGradient.setStops().

### QRadialGradient.__init__ (self, float cx, float cy, float radius)

Constructs a radial gradient with the center at (cx, cy) and the specified radius. The focal point lies at the center of the circle.
