value and saturation gradients for foreground color
Last modified: 2018-05-24 15:31:59 UTC
id suggest two new default, dynamic gradients in the gradients list window a) bright fg color - fg color - dark fg color b) saturated fg color - fg color - desaturated fg color as painter you use very often similar colors or same colors with value or saturation changes, therefore the request.
Those gradient would effectively be made by offering value- and saturation-based change for segments?
yes, as far i understand you. Segments? for gradient a): (max) bright fg color - fg color - (max) dark fg color (3 segments, did you mean that?)
A segment of a gradient is the part between two defined endpoints - an FG to BG gradient has two endpoints and one segment between them. Segments have a coloring type associated with them, currently offering RGB and HSV (hue). A first step to implement the suggested new gradient types would be to offer a type that performs saturation- and value-based change between the endpoints. That is probably rather easier, interpolation between two values over a given distance. Setting up the endpoints is more difficult - while it would be no problem to set arbitrary color values, there's currently only two ways to specify FG and BG color (as-is and transparent). Getting this right (people might want to be able to lock hue, saturation and value to an arbitrary value, and not just zero them) needs additional UI elements and some thought put into these.
