Remarks
You can call the ICanvasGradient::addColorStop method multiple times to change a gradient. If you never call this method for CanvasGradient, the gradient is not visible. You need to create at least one color stop to have a visible gradient.
When you use ICanvasRenderingContext2D::createLinearGradient, you set a width for your gradient. If your shape is wider than the gradient width, then the extra part will be filled with the last color in gradient. .
