	      o $x0, x1, y0, y1
		-  The	coordinates $x0, $y0, $x1, $y1 are the start and end point of the shading. If the type of shading is radial the two points
		are the middle points of a starting and ending circle.

	      o $c1, c2, c3, c4
		- See ps_setcolor(3) for their meaning.

	      o $optlist
