Those are good questions. I brought them up last fall, but got no response here. For general use artists often look to get "tints", "tones", and "shades". Commonly tints add white to a hue, shades add black to one, and shades add gray. I've gotten a simplified implementation of such that merely operates on sRGB in SVG. However it would be good to have things more generally portable via CREATE. One might consider a tint, tone, or shade to be just another color, although a derived one. Thus it would be specified fully as the base color. It's the details on how to derive the one from the other that are probably most interesting. _______________________________________________ CREATE mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/create
