## Class Stop

- java.lang.Object
- - javafx.scene.paint.Stop

-     public final class Stop
      extends Object

  Defines one element of the ramp of colors to use on a gradient. For more information see `javafx.scene.paint.LinearGradient` and `javafx.scene.paint.RadialGradient`.

  Example:

       // object bounding box relative (proportional:true, default)
       Stop[] stops = { new Stop(0, Color.WHITE), new Stop(1, Color.BLACK)};
       LinearGradient lg = new LinearGradient(0, 0, 1, 0, true, CycleMethod.NO_CYCLE, stops);
       Rectangle r = new Rectangle();
       r.setFill(lg);

  Since:
    JavaFX 2.0

- - ### Constructor Detail

    - #### Stop

          public Stop​(double offset,
                      Color color)

      Creates a new instance of Stop.
      Parameters:
        `offset` - Stop's position (ranging from `0` to `1`
        `color` - Stop's color

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### getOffset

          public final double getOffset()

      Gets a number ranging from `0` to `1` that indicates where this gradient stop is placed. For linear gradients, the `offset` variable represents a location along the gradient vector. For radial gradients, it represents a percentage distance from the focus point to the edge of the outermost/largest circle.
      Returns:
        position of the Stop within the gradient (ranging from `0` to `1`)

    - #### getColor

          public final Color getColor()

      Gets the color of the gradient at this offset.
      Returns:
        the color of the gradient at this offset

    - #### equals

          public boolean equals​(Object obj)

      Indicates whether some other object is "equal to" this one.
      Overrides:
        `equals` in class `Object`
      Parameters:
        `obj` - the reference object with which to compare.
      Returns:
        `true` if this object is equal to the `obj` argument; `false` otherwise.

    - #### hashCode

          public int hashCode()

      Returns a hash code for this `Stop` object.
      Overrides:
        `hashCode` in class `Object`
      Returns:
        a hash code for this `Stop` object.

    - #### toString

          public String toString()

      Returns a string representation of this `Stop` object.
      Overrides:
        `toString` in class `Object`
      Returns:
        a string representation of this `Stop` object.
