Figure 6.10 Combining Two Basic Shapes Together to Form a Cone

Let's add a LinearGradient to the entire cone. The code describing our desired
fill pattern looks like this:

fill: LinearGradient {
startX: 30, startY: 190
endX: 190, endY: 170
proportional: false
stops: [
Stop { offset: 0.0 color: Color.PURPLE },
Stop { offset: 0.5 color: Color.WHITE },
Stop { offset: 1.0 color: Color.PURPLE },
]
}

This time, we set the proportional instance variable to false and use pixel coor-
dinates to specify the start and stop locations. To give a realistic perspective to
the cone, the LinearGradient is centered slightly to the right of the cone tip,
