I am pretty sure that the calculations needed to create a gradient are 
more complex than those for a simple static pattern.
But that's not really the point, since there are slow and fast things 
in this world.

I wouldn't want to have them in the public API for now, but perhaps, 
the app_server could handle them, and our widgets could use those 
private functions if we chose that as our look.
I think this would be a bigger API change, and we would probably like 
to get it right :-)
Although we could also just put them in a BPrivate embedded class in 
the BView class - so that it's clear that you shouldn't use it because 
they are probably subject to change.

Adios...
   Axel.
