How to draw shapes with color gradients and different opacities?
<p>I have used transparency to paint shapes using Graphics.drawXXX methods but they always were solid colors, and now I need something a bit different:</p>

<p>I need to draw a shape on my component with a color gradient that goes from an absolutely opaque black color to an absolutely transparent black color.</p>

<p>How can I do this? Thank you!</p>
