Shader

public class Shader
extends Object

java.lang.Object
   ↳ android.graphics.Shader


Shader is the base class for objects that return horizontal spans of colors during drawing. A subclass of Shader is installed in a Paint calling paint.setShader(shader). After that any object (other than a bitmap) that is drawn with that paint will get its color(s) from the shader.

Summary

Nested classes

enum Shader.TileMode

 

Public constructors

Shader()

This constructor is deprecated. Use subclass constructors directly instead.

Public methods

boolean getLocalMatrix(Matrix localM)

Return true if the shader has a non-identity local matrix.

void setLocalMatrix(Matrix localM)

Set the shader's local matrix.

public Shader ()

This constructor is deprecated.
Use subclass constructors directly instead.

Public methods

getLocalMatrix

public boolean getLocalMatrix (Matrix localM)

Return true if the shader has a non-identity local matrix.

Parameters
localM Matrix: Set to the local matrix of the shader, if the shader's matrix is non-null. This value cannot be null.

Returns
boolean true if the shader has a non-identity local matrix

setLocalMatrix

public void setLocalMatrix (Matrix localM)

Set the shader's local matrix. Passing null will reset the shader's matrix to identity. If the matrix has scale value as 0, the drawing result is undefined.

Parameters
localM Matrix: The shader's new local matrix, or null to specify identity This value may be null.
