"Simple ain't easy."
--Thelonius Monk
I, too, would like a simple tutorial, but they are rare,
presumably because Monk was right.
I liked your example very much on my display, but I opened
it on another display (as I might during a presentation) and
the background looked hideous! The gradual blend from red
to blue I had seen on my display was turned into a series of
headache-inducing alternating red and purple bands. I
assumed that I must have set the number of colors too low
(often unavoidable when making presentations) but the
setting was the same as for the display that was showing
great results.
By the way, my favorite TeX resources are those showing
source files and output, from which I can often quickly find
an effect I like, then figure out how it was achieved. You
might consider putting this on a webpage that google can
find, along with the source. I once put a metapost example
on my website and soon noticed plenty of hits from google for
"metapost example" and assume you could help lots of ppower4
users in the same way.
