public LinearGradient(float x0, float y0, float x1, float y1, int[] colors, float[] positions, TileMode tile) {
        throw new RuntimeException("Stub!");
    }

    public LinearGradient(float x0, float y0, float x1, float y1, int color0, int color1, TileMode tile) {
        throw new RuntimeException("Stub!");
    }

x0,y0是起始 的渐变点坐标,x1 ,y1 是结束渐变点坐标,color0是起始颜色,color1是终止颜色,tile填充模式,colors是对应的颜色数值,position与渐变颜色相对应,取值是0到1 的float类型数据,表示每种颜色在整条渐变线中的百分比位置
