[Radiance-general] Re: trans dashboard widget

[Greg Ward]

Very cool, Andy!  Only took me a minute to install, and the stops on  
the sliders corresponding to legal values are a particularly nice touch.

One item for the wish list would be the ability to specify color  
somehow, so one doesn't have to do the luminance conversion thing.   
Something like a hue-saturation wheel would work.  Shall I send you an  
image for that?

Best,
-Greg
