Hi All,
Image a letter 'S'.
Or a 'C', for that matter.
Can anybody suggest a sensible way to fill the shape with a linear-style gradient, starting at one end and shading to the other?
A purely linear gradient places the end points of the gradient at the furthest extents of the shape, leaving incorrectly coloured parts at the tips of the shape; 'shaped' gradients fill from the edges to the middle; spiral, conical and radial gradients also fail to fit the bill.
Warp transformation and Whirl and Pinch filter make interesting effects if you start with a box filled with a linear gradient, but change the width and length of the box in a way I haven't managed to control, and don't get me started about Cage Transform.
Am I simply asking too much of Gimp in its current incarnation, or can you suggest the blindingly obvious solution that's right under my nose but will need a good night's sleep to work out, otherwise?
