[Gimp-user] Question about the meanings of the numbers in a color gradient
I've almost got it figured out. GIMP Gradient Name: Dora Gay flag 6 0.00 0.08 0.17 1.00 0.315000 0.315000 1.00 1.00 0.315000 0.315000 1.00 0 0 0 0 0.17 0.25 0.33 1.00 0.501961 0.00 1.00 1.00 0.501961 0.00 1.00 0 0 0 0 0.33 0.416667 0.50 1.00 1.00 0.00 1.00 1.00 1.00 0.00 1.00 0 0 0 0 0.50 0.58 0.67 0.00 0.474510 0.250980 1.00 0.00 0.474510 0.250980 1.00 0 0 0 0 0.67 0.75 0.83 0.250980 0.250980 1.00 1.00 0.250980 0.250980 1.00 1.00 0 0 0 0 0.83 0.916667 1.00 0.627451 0.00 0.752941 1.00 0.627451 0.00 0.752941 1.00 0 0 0 0 Third row is how many segments. If an example has 2 segments it is 2; if an example has 18 segments it is 18. This one has 6 segments so it is 6. First three columns are left point, right (end point), and point where the gradient changes - and if the blended colors are close where it is doesn't matter. Next are the left color in RGB decimal. Following is a number that I don't know what it represents, and probably it is maximum at 1.00. Following is the rgb code for the right color, then the number that I don't know what it means. Following that are four 0's I understand noone knows what they mean but leave them alone. Now, I can't get the gradient editor to work, but I did get it and the foreground color picker to help me select numbers. There are two numbered scales, such that the maximum is 100. One is blackness, V, and it controls how dark the color is. The other is the saturation; it controls how intense my color is. It goes from 0 to 100. Somehow at one point I got the opacity slider to display; not sure how I managed it, but it controlled the opacity number and nothing else. Now, in the gradient editor, I get the position at wherever my mouse is at, the rgb color, HSV, and luminance and opacity. HSV is 0.0 some number between 1 and 100 100.0 Luminance is some number between 0 and 100. It seems that everything changes together, except opacity and blackness, which change separately. If I carefully keep the black control all the way down and change the saturation, both the luminance and the middle number in HSV change. I don't see anything that goes from 0 to 1.000 that affects luminosity, saturation, or anything that controls how light or intense the color is. So say I want RGB color 1.0, .307, .307, with the middle HSV number 69.4, and luminance 45.1; and in the foreground color picker this is Hue 0, saturation 85, V=100 (0 blackness), RGB = 255 38 38, and the HTML notation is ff2626.What number do I want to put after the RGB colors where 1.000 is now? Feel free to point me to anything that explains it that is written in English and won't take more than fifteen minutes for someone who got this far to figure out, and also if there is a chart or, better, tool somewhere that will just tell me what numbers to use for the colors and saturation I want. If I wanted to change the opacity, would that be changed IN the gradient, or would it be changed with how one applies the gradient? Thanks!

I think using the names as in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGBT_symbols#Flag_gallery is a good choice - and thus we could use Rainbow flag. I'm pretty confident it's perfect. The color of the left and right end point of the red stripe are slightly different - is this intended? Overall, the colors you have used are different to the HTML notation used on the Wikipedia page - it uses color keywords. They are also different to the colors of the six-color flag shown there. I'm not sure if exact matches matter, but still would be curious how you did get the colors you've used. Adding that flag gradient: If we add the flag gradient for the symbol it represents, we might want to consider to add gradients for a few other flags from the gallery linked previously, and use the names provided there. In regard to including gradients at all: We've had a few gradients for national flags in releases in the past (French, German, Mexican, Romanian). They do still exist in our code repository, but have been marked as obsolete: https://git.gnome.org/browse/gimp/tree/data/gradients/Makefile.am?h=gimp-2-8#n78 In general, we have reduced the number of resources that come with GIMP by default.

I downloaded the .svg of the current version of the flag from wikipedia, used imagemagick's convert program to convert it to .png, then used the eye dropper in the gradient editor to grab the RGB values. (And I used the dialog to evenly divide it into six sections.) The name in the .ggr file for the gradient is 'Gay flag'. Perhaps it should be 'Rainbow flag' or 'LGBT flag'? Other than that, it's fine. Yeah, I thought about that after I posted. This is one as Rainbow flag, if that helps: http://www.chaosreigns.com/code/dl/Rainbow-flag.ggr (Not tested, but I just renamed the file, and did a string replace from Gay to Rainbow.) ___ gimp-user-list mailing list List address:gimp-user-list@gnome.org List membership: https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gimp-user-list List archives: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gimp-user-list
Re: [Gimp-user] Can this gay flag gradient be added to releases of gimp?
Thanks, darxus. I have a suggestion, though. People really want to celebrate events this week, which maybe not by coincidence coincides with Gay Pride Week, and not in a couple of years when the new edition of GIMP comes out. You can make any GIMP add-on and circulate it on line, and see if it catches on. Send me your script privately, and tell me how to use it, and I'll try it out myself. I feel like celebrating. It's been one of those our entire culture shifts completely in one week weeks. By the way, Darxus, I know one doesn't normally do this, but I'm so sure you did NOT mean to discuss this only with me, especially as you specifically addressed yourself to someone else, that I'm posting it back to the list. I'm not the only one who thinks gradients grade, and I'm not who you wanted to tell they can use gradients to make their gay flag. This list is set up so you have to reply all to reply to the list, and that is so unusual I fail to do it half of the time.

There are a couple flag gradients included with gimp, I think one of them was French. Gradients can have hard edges between them. I assure you this gradient does exactly the thing you'd want. With a click and a drag you have a gay flag over your image. On 06/27, Dora Smith wrote: The gay flag has morphed into a flag with horizontal colored bars, sometimes with another symbol or the 50 starts in the upper left quarter. The problem with gradients is that colors blend into each other, so it wouldn't be clear that it is a gay flag.Depending of course on what creative use you might be using it for. I'd suggest a stamp. Or maybe it would be clearer if you post a link to an image of what you have created. The gay flag itself is very easy to copy. Split your image into six horizontal sections, and color them red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and lavender or purple. It's based on the gay version of the rainbow version of Barack Obama's campaign symbol in 2008.
