Free colors and their meanings software for linux

Color::Scheme is a module used to generate pleasant color schemes.

This module is a Perl implementation of Color Schemes 2, a color scheme generator. Start by visitng the Color Schemes 2 web site and playing with the colors.

When you want to generate those schemes on the fly, begin using this modoule. The descriptions herein dont make too much sense without actually seeing the colorful results.

Henceforth, paragraphs in quotes denote documentation copied from Color Schemes 2.

"Important note: This tool doesnt use the standard HSV or HSB model (the same HSV/HSB values ie. in Photoshop describe different colors!). The color wheel used here differs from the RGB spectre used on computer screens, its more in accordance with the classical color theory.

This is also why some colors (especially shades of blue) make less bright shades than the basic colors of the RGB-model. In plus, the RGB-model uses red-green-blue as primary colors, but the red-yellow-blue combination is used here.

This deformation also causes incompatibility in color conversions from RGB-values. Therefore, the RGB input (eg. the HTML hex values like #F854A9) is not exact, the conversion is rough and sometimes may produce slightly different color."

Color::Fade provides a Perl extension for fading text colors.

Color::Fade uses mathematical formulas to take an input string of virtually any length, and virtually any number of colors, and assign an individual color to each character to fade between each of the input colors.

In other words, it makes your sentences look really pretty.

Methods

Fade $string among the colors in @colors, where $string is a string of length greater than zero, and @colors is an array of colors in six byte hexadecimal format, with or without the leading octothorpe. @colors must have at least two elements.

When called in array context, the method returns an array in which each element is of the format:

y

For each character, where xxxxxx is a hexadecimal color code and y is one character from the original string.

When called in scalar context, this array is joined before being returned.

colorname is both a plugin for The Gimp as well as a standalone tool that tries to assign a name to a color, using external color definitions and linear algebra.

For this it calculates the euclidean distance between the currently selected color and all predefined colors, either in the RGB or HSV color space.

This project is licensed under the GPLv3.

Usage:

Standalone

Just start colorname.py

Gimp plugin

Once installed you can find colorname in the GIMP under: ”< Toolbox >/Xtns/Colorname”

Quick and Dirty Sync tries to make two directories the same by comparing files sizes and copying new or changed files across in both directions, meaning you dont need to supply a "from" and "to" directory. Quick and Dirty Sync project works for local and (some) FTP directories.

Your mileage may vary, and all your files may be destroyed. You have been warned.

Color::Calc provides a module which implements simple calculations with RGB colors.
This can be used to create a full color scheme from a few colors.
There are three methods to use the calculation functions: You can create an object, import customised functions into your namespace, or you can access them as class methods.
The module accepts color values in the following formats:
- An arrayref pointing to an array with three elements in the range 0..255 corresponding to the red, green, and blue component.
- A list of three values in the range 0..255 corresponding to the red, green, and blue component where the first value does not have 3 or a multiple of 3 digits (e.g. (0128,128,128)).
- A string containing a hexadecimal RGB value like #RGB/#RRGGBB/#RRRGGGBBB/..., or RGB/RRGGBB/RRRGGGBBB/...
- A color name accepted by Graphics::ColorNames. The interpretation is controlled by the ColorScheme parameter.
- A Graphics::ColorObject reference.

Hanzi Master project is a visual, interactive Chinese character and word dictionary.
Hanzim ("Hanzi Master") is an interactive visual dictionary for learning and seeing relationships between Chinese radicals, characters, and compounds.
All the characters with a given radical, phonetic component, or pronunciation can be displayed, and all words containing a character, with English meanings.
All data is stored locally. Either simplified or traditional characters can be used.
Main features:
- typing in pinyin gives list of characters and definitions with that pronunciation
- clicking on a radical gives list of characters and definitions with that radical
- clicking on any character in any list displays that character along with the compounds it occurs in as the first or second character.
