Instances of this class represent patterns to use while drawing. Patterns can be specified either as bitmaps or gradients. <p> Application code must explicitly invoke the <code>Pattern.dispose()</code> method to release the operating system resources managed by each instance when those instances are no longer required. </p> <p> This class requires the operating system's advanced graphics subsystem which may not be available on some platforms. </p>
