Of course I don't need that. I was planning to expand it eventually, but
trying not to use the Common Dialog control...

Um, try this one by Andreas Gerdes.  I foget where I got it but I find it
quite handy.  it allows you to save you own colours, and (my favourite), use
the colour picker mode to pick colours out of images on your screen.

Sheesh. You know, that's the second time I spent a while developing
something that nobody wants :-|

Sorry, I didn't have the time to test your prog. BTW does it use exclusively
RGB or also HSL (which artists usually prefer)? Why don't you add the
capability to make colormaps? That would be interesting for sure.

It uses exclusively RGB at the moment. If I switch to the Common Dialog
control (as opposed to my own GUI), that already implements HSL.
Colormaps... I might be able to shell out to POV-Ray and get a preview of
the texture. Or I might not ;-)

Please don't do that. I can't stand it. :)

Or you could just do it in Java.  :-)

Dang. Off-hand I can't find the code for the one I started. Not too hard
though.

Ach.. I don't 'do' Java. VB's my language.

You should learn it. The more you learn other languages, the better you
become. And the cost is right. Plus, it will give you a leg up if you
ever decide to upgrade to the next version of .NET VB, C# and all that
(since C# is Java modified to support COM, etc).

Then also you'd end up with a single binary that would run on Windows,
Mac OS 9, Mac OS X, Linux, Solaris, Irix... probably the majority of the
POV-Ray community.
