Python addon for importing gradients from svg, css and ggr gradient definitions #1. About the addon #Addon that allows for import of SVG, GGR and CSS files with definition of linearGradient as input of ColorRamps nodes color stops. #The tool is active when a ColorRamp node is selected and active. Note that Blender has limitation of 32 color stops per ColorRamp node. #In order to import a bigger color ramp (no matter the input format) option 'replace ColorRamp with group for bigger gradients'. It will #replace active color ramp node with a group that creates gradients with more than 32 color stops. Groups must be created also for gradients #that have non uniform interpolation (e.g. ggr files can have different interpolations for every 3-color stop segment). Be warned, that really #big gradients will crash Blender. I guess it depends on your system. The 32 color stops limit could have been set for a reason...
#2. SVG support #The addon will scan through choosen svg file for linearGradient definition and will add its color stops #to the active node. Only the first gradient definiton found in the file will be considered. #A great resource for svg gradients definitions is cpt-city site: #http://soliton.vm.bytemark.co.uk/pub/cpt-city/index.html
#3. GGR support #The addon will allow for import of GIMP created gradients, which may be quite complex. Not all GGR properties are supported. #GGR format documentation: #https://github.com/mirecta/gimp/blob/master/devel-docs/ggr.txt #GIMP Gradients editor: #https://docs.gimp.org/en/gimp-gradient-dialog.html#gimp-gradient-editor-dialog
#4. CSS support #The addon will import -moz-linear-gradient and -webkit-linear-gradient from a css file. Only the first gradient definiton #found in the file will be considered. #Some tools for generating css gradines that are available online were pointed out to me: #http://www.gradient-scanner.com/ #http://www.colorzilla.com/gradient-editor/#_ #http://www.kmhcreative.com/downloads/CSS2SVG.htm #CSS syntax: #https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/linear-gradient#Formal_syntax
