#' Gradient patterned grobs
#'
#' `grid.pattern_gradient()` draws a gradient pattern onto the graphic device.
#'
#' @inheritParams grid.pattern_circle
#' @param fill Colour.
#' @param fill2 Second colour.
#' @param orientation vertical, horizontal, or radial.
#' @param aspect_ratio Override aspect ratio.
#' @param use_R4.1_gradients Whether to use the gradient feature introduced in R v4.1
#'                           or use a `rasterGrob` approximation.
#'                           Note not all graphic devices support the grid gradient feature.
#' @param key_scale_factor Additional scale factor for legend.
#' @param res Assumed resolution (in pixels per graphic device inch) to use when creating array pattern.
#' @return A grid grob object invisibly.  If `draw` is `TRUE` then also draws to the graphic device as a side effect.
