I finally got around to coding that colorpicker script for GrafX2 under Linux, based on the 'grabc' program. (If you're using MacOSX, there is https://github.com/attilam/grafx2-colorpick-osx - already one ). FYI: GrafX2's interface has to work on a lot of platforms, so they have minimal access to platform-specific stuff (eg. being able to look at the contents of other windows); the built in colorpicker is only effective inside GrafX2. I made both cycling (moves to next color index after picking) and non-cycling versions. Usually use 'cycling', because I mainly want to pick ramps rather than single colors. You can use this for example to pick colors from http://code.google.com/p/gpick/ - GPick 's "blend colors' panel:  Both versions of the script are available http://code.google.com/p/grafx2/issues/detail?id=240 - here . I recommend binding one or both to a keyboard shortcut for convenient usage. Note: you'll need to have the grabc package installed first. ------------- absolutely. |

BTW if you prefer to copy and paste multiple colors at once, I've just made some scripts for that too. For now they are posted https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!topic/grafx2/kKk6L2jJ_nA - here . They understand/output hex codes, GPL lines, CSS rgb, and CSV. Multiple lines are treated as multiple colors. Since GPick will happily copy multiple colors, this is now my color importing tool of choice. Now just to make GPick paste multiple colors the same way.. (it currently just reads the first line/color, in spite of the fact that it outputs multiple lines, heh) ------------- absolutely. |
