 * @class GradientBase
 * @sbmlbrief{render} Abstract base class for linear and radial gradients.
 * 
 * The base class implements common structures to both gradient classes.
 * Both gradients have an id attribute which is used to reference a gradient
 * within other render extension constructs. The id of a gradient can be used
 * to define the fill style of 2D objects like e.g. rectangles.
 *
 * Further, both gradient classes have a ListOfGradientStops objects which holds
 * the GradientStop objects that define the gradient and both classes have an 
 * attribute called spreadMethod which defines how a gradient is applied to an
 * object.

 * @par
 * The attribute "spreadMethod" on a GradientBase object is used by GradientBase 
 * elements to decide how gradients propagate over the whole element they are 
 * applied to.  The following are the allowable values for "spreadMethod":
 * <ul>
 * <li> @c "pad", the gradient color at the endpoint of the vector defines how 
 * the gradient is continued beyond that point (default value).
 *
 * <li> @c "reflect", the gradient continues from end to start and then from 
 * start to end again and again.
 *
 * <li> @c "repeat", the gradient pattern is repeated from start to end over 
 * and over again.
 *
 * </ul>
