Pyrochild wrote a marvelous Gradient Mapping plugin. However, its possibilities are uncovered not completely. I found some gradients at our Forums. Note: gradients for old version of a plugin (like MiguelPereira's Gradients) are incompatible with the new version and can lead to crash paint.net. Gradients.zip by MiguelPereira for new version Gradient Mapping. Contains 4 gradients: Lemony, Rainbow, Weird, and Weird2. Sarkut's Yellow Gold gives golden color to elements of your image. ThermalImage by natjo1986. It fades from purple to red or fading from cold then to hot. Pop_Art_Hope colors the image in PopArt style. Pratyush's Metallic Presets contains 16 different gradients of shades of metal. Pratyush's Sky Presets contains 23 different gradients type of sky. I made some presets to stimulate usage of Gradient Mapping. Note: put in a folder Gradient Mapping only gradients necessary for you. At a large number of gradients, you can not see them all in the drop-down list of gradients. Black and White.zip contrast gradient for tutorials. Bokeh.zip contains 11 different gradients which allow to paint parts of the image in color inherent Bokeh effect. Chocolate.zip contains 9 different gradients of chocolate color. Colors.zip contains 9 different multi-colored gradients. Fire.zip contains 12 different fire gradients. Fruity.zip contains 13 different gradients with fruit undertones. Gels.zip contains 25 different gels gradients. NEW! Golden.zip contains 9 different gradients of golden color. GreensAndBlues.zip contains 12 different gradients in green and blue tones. NEW! Harmony.zip contains 7 different multicolor gradients. Metalls.zip contains 5 different gradients of shades of metal. Neon.zip contains 10 different gradients like a neon glow. Pastel.zip contains 8 different gradients (an analogue of the Photoshops gradient set Pastel). NEW! Pop_Art.zip contains 15 different presets for creation of portraits in Pop Art style. Rainbow.zip contains 9 different gradients in rainbow tones. Silvery.zip contains 10 different presets with silver shades. Simples.zip contains 14 different two-color gradients. Spectrum.zip contains 5 different four-colored gradients. Vintage.zip contains 10 different preset for changing the image like a vintage photo. I hope to see your work with presets for Gradient Mapping. Open for itself the wonderful world of colors! To be continued...

If you want to change the width of the dialog, assign a double to the value when using the WindowWidthScale enum. props[ControlInfoPropertyNames.WindowWidthScale].Value = 1.5d; If you want to make the dialog user-resizable, assign a boolean to the value when using the WindowIsSizable enum. props[ControlInfoPropertyNames.WindowIsSizable].Value = true;

Indeed. Sorry to have missed your report Red.

@Maximilian, thank you so much dear Max! @LionsDragon, I aim to please! (haha) Thank you! @Red ochre, thank you for those kind numbers! @toe_head2001, 5 's....WOW! Thank you! @MJW, first, thank you for your condolences and second, thank you for your high praise of my piece. I couldn't have done it without Texture Merger & Shader!! (and yes, I like this version better, also) @Pixey, thank you so much for your wonderful words and nominating the piece for the Galleria! You're a sweetheart! @Seerose, what an absolutely beautiful compliment! You are such a dear. Thank you! @Ego Eram Reputo, thank you for placing it in the Galleria!

Enameled Peacock has been promoted to the Galleria. Congratulations Lynxster!

Thank you very much @ReMake I just tried out the colors and they are fabulous - especially the gold and the silver and I'm sure the others will be just as pretty .

Thank you, Red! I didn't know until EER posted the above. You're also a sweetheart! Thank you, Woodsy! I occasionally find myself hitting 'homers'! @Ego Eram Reputo, thank you for correcting!

Select the 20x20 pixel image using the rectangle select tool then press the M key once (activates the Move tool ). Right click and drag to rotate

Wow! Incredible piece! You really knocked it out of the park! Congratulations on the Galleria nomination!

Congrats on the well deserved Galleria acceptance. (The peacock brooch received more than one nomination!)

@tkddude2 - this is what Toe-Head and I are talking about: http://boltbait.com/pdn/CodeLab/help/tutorial4.asp (see the section on Text). Once you have created a graphics surface (denoted g in the code), you can replace g.drawstring with g.FillRectangle (ref: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms535957(v=vs.85).aspx)

Interesting plugin. Thank you.

Good fun Red. Thanks for your hard work. Heres a quick play

Congrats @Pixey @lynxster4 & @dipstick Very impressive entries from all participants. Nice hosting work from @Pixey too.

I've re-written your script. It has lots of checks, so a bad input doesn't crash it. It doesn't take into Z-index, but that would fairly easy to add. #region UICode TextboxControl Amount1 = "[10,10;200,20;255,25,9;1][50,60;10,10;0,0,0;1]"; // [0,255] Weird Notation Here: #endregion void Render(Surface dst, Surface src, Rectangle rect) { dst.CopySurface(src,rect.Location,rect); string[] rectanges = Amount1.Split('['); foreach (string rectangle in rectanges) { if (rectangle == string.Empty) continue; string[] parameterGroups = rectangle.TrimEnd(new char[']']).Split(';'); if (parameterGroups.Length != 4) continue; int posX = 0; int posY = 0; int width = 0; int height = 0; ColorBgra color = ColorBgra.White; string[] pos = parameterGroups[0].Split(','); if (pos.Length != 2) continue; if (!int.TryParse(pos[0], out posX)) continue; if (!int.TryParse(pos[1], out posY)) continue; string[] dims = parameterGroups[1].Split(','); if (dims.Length != 2) continue; if (!int.TryParse(dims[0], out width)) continue; if (!int.TryParse(dims[1], out height)) continue; string[] channels = parameterGroups[2].Split(','); if (channels.Length != 3) continue; if (!byte.TryParse(channels[0], out color.R)) continue; if (!byte.TryParse(channels[1], out color.B)) continue; if (!byte.TryParse(channels[2], out color.G)) continue; for (int y = posY; y < posY + height; y++) { if (IsCancelRequested) return; for (int x = posX; x < posX + width; x++) { dst[x,y] = color; } } } }

Dear @lynxster4! Ten stars is not enough. I give you the whole sky. I have to say this is fantastic work. Thank you so much.

Wow! This really POPS off the page . I recognize Texture Merger/Shader in this wonderful rendition - it's really fabulous .

I'm so sorry to hear about your father, lynkster4. Your Art Nouveau peacock is terrific, and the enameled-broach version is even better than the SOTW entry.

Here is a variation of my SOTW #162 entry (Art Nouveau); an 'enameled' brooch. Hope you all enjoy it!
