Color picker

Mon, 05/14/2007 - 14:27 — Dentoid

Current color selection tools aren't that good. A proper color picker might be a good idea. Also, it's good to be able to scale intensity of the color without having to scale each component separately. It's a pretty common operation. (That would of course be incorporated in a color picker somehow. :)

RGB HSL & CMYK

Yes, the current system is terrible for selecting colors, I agree. We need a color picker like Inkscape's, shared by each operator that needs it--
We need at least
RGB (Red, Green, Blue)
HSL (Hue, Saturation, Lightness)
and CMYK (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black)
An HSV color wheel would be cool, but with three other color pickers, not all that necessary.

Since the color picker is on

Since the color picker is on the editor-side, it shouldn't be a problem to share them among the different operators. Just have a color picker for any color property, if you see what I mean.

A color picker control will be added into GUI library. But warning for the moment library is just a win32 wrapper and in a near future I want to change it for an openGL rasterizer for cross-platform. So after the fxgen 0.4 release, I should work on it.
