Cptutils

From GISWiki

The GMT package implements colour gradients with the cpt (colour palette) file format, and provides some tools for creating and manipulating them. The cptutils package contains a number of additional utilities, mostly for translation to and from other formats. In 1.28 (October 2006),

• avlcpt convert avl (ArcView Legend) to cpt
• cptcss convert cpt to fragment of css
• cptgimp convert cpt to gimp gradient
• cpthsv modify RGB cpt gradient in HSV space
• cptinfo print summary information on a cpt file
• cpttext colour text according to a cpt file
• cptsvg convert cpt to svg gradient
• gimpcpt convert gimp gradient to cpt
• pspcpt convert PaintShop Pro gradient to cpt
• svgx convert svg gradient to cpt, gimp gradient, PaintShop Pro/Photoshop gradient or POV-Ray colour-map
• xycpt convert column data to cpt

The cptutils package was written to aid the construction of the cpt archive cpt-city (where thousands of cpt files can be downloaded). The Unix source distribution for the package can be downloaded here (you will need to have libxml2 installed to compile it).
