Description

right now if you try and scale/rotate/etc before calling ofBackgroundGradient, it will fail.

people generally call ofBackground at the top of draw() so it shouldn't be a huge issue... but it does make it a little 'fragile'.

Research direction

Start by locating the implementation of ofBackgroundGradient and reproduce the failure after scaling or rotating before calling it, as described in the issue. Trace the graphics state involved and verify that the same transformed draw sequence no longer fails; the issue does not name a file or test to run.
