This implements the gradients for:
- CanvasRenderingContext2D.createLinearGradient()
- CanvasRenderingContext2D.createConicGradient()
- CanvasRenderingContext2D.createRadialGradient()
As loosely defined in: https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/canvas.html#fill-and-stroke-styles
(It's really not very well defined for radial gradients)
Actual implementation (for radial gradients) was done with a lot
of trial and error, then visually comparing to other browsers.
This moves the CSS gradient painting to the painter creating:
- Painter::fill_rect_with_linear_gradient()
- Painter::fill_rect_with_conic_gradient()
- Painter::fill_rect_with_radial_gradient()
This has a few benefits:
- The gradients can now easily respect the painter scale
- The Painter::fill_pixels() escape hatch can be removed
- We can remove the old fixed color stop gradient code
- The old functions are now just a shim
- Anywhere can now easily use this gradient painting code!
This only leaves the color stop resolution in LibWeb (which is fine).
Just means in LibGfx you have to actually specify color stop positions.
(Also while here add a small optimization to avoid generating
excessively long gradient lines)
