* <p>
* There are a number of defined gradient types (look at the static fields), but
* you can create any gradient you like by using either of the following
* functions:
* <ul>
* <li>public static Color[] createMultiGradient(Color[] colors, int numSteps)</li>
* <li>public static Color[] createGradient(Color one, Color two, int numSteps)</li>
* </ul>
* You can then assign an arbitrary Color[] object to the HeatMap as follows:
*
* <pre>
* myHeatMap.updateGradient(Gradient.createMultiGradient(new Color[] { Color.red,
* Color.white, Color.blue }, 256));
* </pre>
