public abstract class PathGradientBrushBase extends TransformBrush
```

Represents a `Brush` with base path gradient functionality.

Note that when creating the `PathGradientBrushBase` class it should be initialized with 2 points at least. The internal path created will always be a closed figure, the last point connects the first point. That shape is filled with this `PathGradientBrushBase`. The GDI+ implementation throws an `OutOfMemoryError` when passing in empty arrays or points set having the same coordinates. The `PathGradientBrushBase` throws an exception when points array contain less than 2 points, the `ArgumentException` is thrown rather than `OutOfMemoryError` when points array is unacceptable. The center point is calculated as a center of mass for the passed in points by default. A user can change this point later. The focus scales is an empty point (0.0, 0.0) by default.
