Android Gradient - meaning of attributes

For the <gradient> in Android, I cannot understand the meaning of the centerX and centerY attributes and how their values affect the shape. Also what is the meaning of the gradient type sweep ?

Thanks in advance.

android:centerX and android:centerY default values are 0.5.

0.5 is the center of the view, their range of values are from 0 to 1, being centerX=centerY=0 the upper-left corner of the screen and centerX=centerY=1 the bottom-right corner if the view fills the screen.

Sweep is a kind of circular gradient. Imagine a wide paint brush were one of the sides is sticked and you make a complete circular movement. The effect is like a conic looked from above.
