Hi all,
Glad you like the gradient plug in. When I get back from vacation in a week I will look at adding the up-slope gradients in addition to the two that currently are in there. I really just ran out of time. Also, yes, I did mean to indicate that I built it against that version of Paint.Net. Wasn't sure how backwards compatible the plug-in model was so I thought I would mention it.
Regarding gradients, the plug-in basically looks at the rectangle that encloses the selection, or the entire image if no selection is available. It then uses that rectangle for the basis (i.e. the start, end and increment of color to use across that rectangle). In the case of the radial gradient, which I might have messed up, I divide that rectangle by 2 and start going out from there, going from the primary color to the secondary color. If you have masking turned on make sure your selection rectangle is centered over the general area you want to make your gradient in. Either way, I will look to see if I messed up something in that fill when i add the other two fills in the plug-in in a week or so.
Btw. I love this Paint.NET program, I keep thinking of new ideas to add to it.
Thanks,
Paul Leska
