I am using ConTeXt to make documentation for a webbased application. (100+ document) Last week they showed me another document with used a kind of rainbow (but completely filled at the upper part) for the page header and a 180 degrees rotated one with different colors for the page footer. Now they want me to do the same. What is the best way to do this? -- Cecil Westerhof
If I understand you correctly, then you have to deal with two pictures in the background. You might be able to make the pics in METAPOST. Create a layer and place the figures on the layer with \setlayer(framed). Put the layer in the background of the page. Willi On 11 Jul 2011, at 16:25, Cecil Westerhof wrote:

Many programs will create multicolor gradients. I would use Gimp. But Scribus, Krita etc. are also candidates. I suggest this tutorial if you are new to Gimp: http://www.tankedup-imaging.com/gradient.html -- John Culleton "Death Wore Black" Police procedural: http://www.deathworeblack.com/ "Create Book Covers with Scribus" http://booklocker.com/books/4055.html

Hint: on Gimp go to the left hand window (the toolbox) and look for the "blend" tool. Then just follow your nose (or the tutorial). I waoud save the blend item as png. -- John Culleton "Death Wore Black" Police procedural: http://www.deathworeblack.com/ "Create Book Covers with Scribus" http://booklocker.com/books/4055.html
