Hi all, A while ago I asked a question here about whether there is a known technology for generating user-edittable 2-D gradients. I was answered by several people that such a thing exists in the form of Post-Script's tensor gradients. I was then referred to the Post-Script "Red Book" to find their description and algorithms. I then came up with the thought of adding support for them into The GIMP. So, I went to the engineer of my faculty's Image Processing Laboratory, and told him about that idea. He said that it's a good one and he'll look into it and consider allowing me (and possibly a partner) to work on that and get credintials for it from the Technion. He has not made a final decision yet, so don't get excited in case support for two-dimensional gradients in the GIMP is your dream come true. What I would like to do is make sure there isn't any duplicate effort, and no-one else will be working on it at least until I know what will become of this project idea. If the project will take place, it will start somewhere near October, perhaps before, if my partner and I can work on it at summertime. Until then, I believe there are more pressing things to do, like getting the GIMP 1.3.x and GIMP 1.9.x sources stablized enough. Just wanted to let everybody know. Shlomi Fish BTW: A funny thing is that he did not hear about GIMP before, despite being the chief engineer of the Image Processing Lab of the EE faculty. That Laboratory work extensively with Linux, and I would have guessed they should find the GIMP indispensable. I had to explain him that the GIMP was open-source so the proposed modification would be possible to implement easily. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Shlomi Fish shlomif@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Home Page: http://t2.technion.ac.il/~shlomif/ Home E-mail: shlomif@xxxxxxxxxx A more experienced programmer does not make less bugs. He just realizes what went wrong more quickly.
