                                Version 1.0
                               --------------

DESCRIPTION
===========
This program will create a gradient using two colors, which can
then be saved to a bitmap.


CONTROLS
========
Save    - Save the image to file.

Reset   - Reset back to default values.

Preview - Preview the full gradient image before saving it to file.
          This window does not automatically update itself, so hit the 
          preview button anytime to refresh the image.


GRADIENT OPTIONS
================
Linear Vertical    - draw a linear gradient vertically.
Linear Horizontal  - draw a linear gradient horizontally.

Radial             - draw a radial gradient from the center.

Diagonal LR        - draw a linear gradient diagonally from the UL corner to the LR corner.
Diagonal RL        - draw a linear gradient diagonally from the UR corner to the LL corner.

Sine Vertical      - draw a gradient vertically using a sine wave.
Cosine Vertical    - draw a gradient vertically using a cosine wave.

Sine Horizontal    - draw a gradient horizontally using a sine wave.
Cosine Horizontal  - draw a gradient horizontally using a cosine wave.

Sine Radial        - draw a radial gradient using a sine wave.
Cosine Radial      - draw a radial gradient using a cosine wave.

2x Radial
2x Sine Radial
2x Cosine Radial:
These are gradients similar to the above ones, except they are zoomed 2x.

For example, try:
Gradient: 2x Cosine Radial
Frequency multiplier: 4
Start color: black (0,0,0)
End color: white (255,255,255)


WAVE OPTIONS
============
This option is only valid for gradients that use sine or cosine waves.

Frequency multiplier - A value of 1.0 will use a full wave (360 degrees).
                       A value of 0.5 will use a half wave (180 degrees), etc..

Click the Apply button after entering any changes.


COLOR OPTIONS
=============
You can change the starting and ending gradient colors.

Switch - this will swap the starting and ending colors.


BITMAP OPTIONS
==============
The dimensions of the bitmap to be saved.  Click the Apply button 
after entering any changes.
