  - ### Constructor Detail

    - #### GradientFormatter

          public GradientFormatter(float maxScore,
                           String minForegroundColor,
                           String maxForegroundColor,

      Sets the color range for the IDF scores
      Parameters:
        `maxScore` - The score (and above) displayed as maxColor (See QueryScorer.getMaxWeight which can be used to calibrate scoring scale)
        `minForegroundColor` - The hex color used for representing IDF scores of zero eg #FFFFFF (white) or null if no foreground color required
        `maxForegroundColor` - The largest hex color used for representing IDF scores eg #000000 (black) or null if no foreground color required
        `minBackgroundColor` - The hex color used for representing IDF scores of zero eg #FFFFFF (white) or null if no background color required
        `maxBackgroundColor` - The largest hex color used for representing IDF scores eg #000000 (black) or null if no background color required

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### highlightTerm

          public String highlightTerm(String originalText,
                             TokenGroup tokenGroup)

      Specified by:
        `highlightTerm` in interface `Formatter`
      Parameters:
        `originalText` - The section of text being considered for markup
        `tokenGroup` - contains one or several overlapping Tokens along with their scores and positions.

    - #### getForegroundColorString

          protected String getForegroundColorString(float score)

    - #### getBackgroundColorString

          protected String getBackgroundColorString(float score)

    - #### hexToInt

          public static final int hexToInt(String hex)

      Converts a hex string into an int. Integer.parseInt(hex, 16) assumes the input is nonnegative unless there is a preceding minus sign. This method reads the input as twos complement instead, so if the input is 8 bytes long, it will correctly restore a negative int produced by Integer.toHexString() but not necessarily one produced by Integer.toString(x,16) since that method will produce a string like '-FF' for negative integer values.
      Parameters:
        `hex` - A string in capital or lower case hex, of no more then 16 characters.
      Throws:
        `NumberFormatException` - if the string is more than 16 characters long, or if any character is not in the set [0-9a-fA-f]
