Gradient Module

[Mackie]

EDIT:

Alright basic transparency is now working perfectly, but I think I'm going to over do it. Thanks for you help everyone! I couldn't have done it without you.

My classmates are going to gape when they see this, too bad I didn't make it myself.

Let me know what they think of it. Any Ideas they have for features or any bugs you find.

I always enjoy input, good or bad. (Preferably good )

New Release!

It took longer than I thought to get to this point. I forgot to work on this actually. So, there is a new syntax for:

Gradient.Oval (xPosition, yPosition, xRadius, yRadius, outerColor, innerColor : int, Ratio : real)

That's right! I've added multi-radii in to the Oval. There is still a glitch but, it's getting there. For an example check the first post of the thread.

[StealthArcher]

Now to move on to multiple colors in one gradient! So did my ratio formula help any?

[Mackie]

Defiantly, although ericfourfour's formating, and De-cluttering suggestions helped me figure it out a lot more.

[StealthArcher]

I never seem to help much here. EvRYBUDY IS TU GUD!

Haha, no you helped don't worry.

I've discovered some few glitches within the program, and have pointed it out to Mackie.

When drawing his Gradient.MapleLeaf with a large size, you have a slight problem. Say you chose his example, a leaf would appear with the same colours, although a green circle would appear in the middle, same with the star.

I've been looking for a way to clear that, but haven't found a way on my own, nor has Mackie to my knowledge. Any feedback or suggestions?

Also, a reverse Gradient Module would be good. Might try it by doing the opposite of what Mackie did. Could be fun.

The grren interior in the center is actually another maple leaf, drawn with the same color generation problems his alpha used to have, I fixed it using a basic cheap solution, but I'll make it better another time when I'm not tired.

[Mackie]

The problem is in your fix is the smaller it is the more of the correct color gets cut out, and the problem still exists, with extremely large shapes. The problem seems to be for what ever reason, the for loop goes a bit to far. This causes the size to go negative, and for the maple leaf to become negative with, both color and size. Also, if you do plan on working on this problem (I will be). Then you should know that the Star is the exact same as the maple leaf.

Thanks StealthArcher.

when i see the "very large" and "negative", it gave me the conclusion of

Quote:

In current implementations of Turing, the range of integers is from -2147483647 to 2147483647. In other words, the maximum size of integer is 2**31 - 1. See maxint. This range exists because integers are stored in 4 bytes. The remaining negative value, -2147483648 records uninitialization.

but i dont think you actually went crazy and typed something like 999999999999 (12 digits) did you?..... and another thing, could it be the color's problem? since RGB each have value of 256, so 256^3 is 16777216 (7 digits) it might give funky result? (er after looking up the RGB thing, i noticed its real... so it might not be 256 colors each, but just some thought to where your problem might be)

[StealthArcher]

Alright, here we go, I'm in prog class atm, and fixed it better.
