New plugins: color tools

[edb]

Hello,

I've made some plugins related to color and the wings palette.

Color Panel

A color panel for quick selection of colors, it maintains a color history like in some paint programs, and the color history can be sent to the palette.



Palette Import/Export

I've made some functionality to import and export different kinds of files to the wings palette. Since it is a standalone plugin at the moment I decided to put them in the Tools menu.

Import:
From swatch image:
Reads an image file of a color swatch (image of solid color squares that some color generator web sites can export).

Text file:
Read various plain text files, it recognizes hex color codes, CSS style rgb(...) and tabular data.

Adobe Palette:
Reads various adobe palette types.

Sample from image:
Scans the image for the most used colors.

Export:
SVG swatch image / EPS swatch image:
Generates a swatch-style picture in SVG/EPS.

Text file:
Generate text file with hex or tabular data.

SVG/TeX legend:
Generate a list of labelled colors (currently labels show "Color1", Color2", etc).
