Description Jo 2014-11-04 11:41:06 UTC
please improve the color wheel by adding a color symmetry, using the color pitch as reference to get generate more colors. See attachments.

ok, i'll use Dropbox for bigger attachments
Comment 3 Michael Schumacher 2014-11-06 15:18:07 UTC
Ok, let's expand the bug summary then.

The color selectors are loadable modules, see https://git.gnome.org/browse/gimp/tree/modules

What you have in mind could be a derivative of the color wheel selector. As such, it can be a project for someone who want to get into GTK+ / Cairo programming, without the risk to get entangled into the whole of the GIMP code too much. Maybe you want to give this a try, or maybe someone else from your artist community is interested to contribute?
Comment 4 Jo 2014-11-06 19:57:51 UTC
I'd love to code for the Gimp. 
My code experience is self-taught, so i think that my knowledge is not enough to be very helpful. I could try nevertheless in my spare time-what developer tools are you using to format , check, debug Gimps code ?
And programmers…i'll check out some contacts, but i cant promise nothing.

Comment 8 Jo 2014-11-27 12:38:39 UTC
more info:
Color harmonies are: complementary, similar, split-complementary and tetradic. 
Color symmetries (also harmonies) are regular forms like: triangle, square, pentagon, hexagon.

Please look at my design......
RYB color wheel can easily observe the art color, such as: Analogous,Triadic,Complementary.
(But I didn't design the color wheel's "color marker", that makes the code more difficult to write!)
It's a design. I don't know how to program!
