  - ### GradientFormatter

    public GradientFormatter(float maxScore, String minForegroundColor, String maxForegroundColor, String minBackgroundColor, String maxBackgroundColor)
    Sets the color range for the IDF scores
    Parameters:
      `maxScore` - The score (and above) displayed as maxColor (See `QueryScorer.getMaxTermWeight()` 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 Details

  - ### 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]
