class representing a PDF Smooth Shading object. PDF Functions represent parameterized mathematical formulas and sampled representations with arbitrary resolution. Functions are used in two areas: device-dependent rasterization information for halftoning and transfer functions, and color specification for smooth shading (a PDF 1.3 feature). All PDF Functions have a shadingType (0,2,3, or 4), a Domain, and a Range.
Field Summary
protected  String shadingName    The name of the Shading e.g. "Shading1" 
protected  int shadingType    Required: The Type of shading (1,2,3,4,5,6,7) 
protected  PDFDeviceColorSpace colorSpace    A ColorSpace representing the colorspace. "DeviceRGB" is an example. 
protected  List background    The background color. Since shading is opaque, this is very rarely used. 
protected  List bBox    Optional: A List specifying the clipping rectangle 
protected  boolean antiAlias    Optional: A flag whether or not to filter the shading function to prevent aliasing artifacts. Default is false. 
protected  List domain    Optional for Type 1: Array of four numbers, xmin, xmax, ymin, ymax. Default is [0 1 0 1] Optional for Type 2: An array of two numbers between which the blend varies between start and end points. Default is 0, 1. Optional for Type 3: An array of two numbers between which the blend varies between start and end points. Default is 0, 1. 
protected  List matrix    Optional for Type 1: A transformation matrix 
protected  PDFFunction function    Required for Type 1, 2, and 3: The object of the color mapping function (usually type 2 or 3). Optional for Type 4,5,6, and 7: When it's nearly the same thing. 
protected  List coords    Required for Type 2: An Array of four numbers specifying the starting and ending coordinate pairs Required for Type 3: An Array of six numbers [x0,y0,r0,x1,y1,r1] specifying the centers and radii of the starting and ending circles. 
protected  List extend    Required for Type 2+3: An Array of two boolean values specifying whether to extend the start and end colors past the start and end points, respectively. Default is false, false. 
protected  int bitsPerCoordinate    Required for Type 4,5,6, and 7: Specifies the number of bits used to represent each vertex coordinate. Allowed to be 1,2,4,8,12,16,24, or 32. 
protected  int bitsPerFlag    Required for Type 4,5,6, and 7: Specifies the number of bits used to represent the edge flag for each vertex. Allowed to be 2,4,or 8, while the Edge flag itself is allowed to be 0,1 or 2. 
protected  List decode    Required for Type 4,5,6, and 7: Array of Doubles which specifies how to decode coordinate and color component values. Each type has a differing number of decode array members, so check the spec. Page 303 in PDF Spec 1.3 
protected  int bitsPerComponent    Required for Type 4,5,6, and 7: Specifies the number of bits used to represent each color coordinate. Allowed to be 1,2,4,8,12, or 16 
protected  int verticesPerRow    Required for Type 5:The number of vertices in each "row" of the lattice; it must be greater than or equal to 2.

Method from org.apache.fop.pdf.PDFShading Detail:
 public boolean equals(Object obj) 
    Check if this shading is equal to another shading. This is used to check if a shading already exists.
 public String getName() 
    Get the name of this shading.
 public  void setName(String name) 
    Sets the name of the shading
 public String toPDFString() 
    represent as PDF. Whatever the shadingType is, the correct representation spits out. The sets of required and optional attributes are different for each type, but if a required attribute's object was constructed as null, then no error is raised. Instead, the malformed PDF that was requested by the construction is dutifully output. This policy should be reviewed.
