绘制弧并渐变它

Question

I would like to know if its possible to draw a Arc on a graphics Panel using a gradient and how I would go about it.

My end goal would be to rotate the arc in a full circle so it would be similar to a rotating loading circle. However it is not a loading bar. It would be a background of a custom JButton.

Any suggestions to alternatives that would create a similar effect would be appreciated.

This is similar to what oi want to draw. Keep in mind that it will be "rotating"

You might like to have a look at 2D Graphics for more info

Updated after additional input

So you want a conical fill effect then...

The implementation I have comes from Harmonic Code , but I can't find a direct reference to it (I think it's part of his (excellent) series), but you can see the source code here

Now. I had issues with the angles as it appears that 0 starts at the top point (not the left) and it doesn't like negative angles...you might have better luck, but what I did was create a basic buffer at a position I could easily get working and then rotate the graphics context using an AffineTransformation ...
