1. Description
--------------
mkgradient is a simple tool for making color gradients. It uses the PNG
library.

2. Requirements
---------------
A compiler and libpng with header files (if you're using Debian Linux, try the
libpng*-dev packages).

3. Installation
---------------
Simply type 'make' to compile it and 'make install' as root to install it. If
you don't want to use it anymore type 'make uninstall' to remove it.

4. Usage
--------
Usage: ./mkgradient <start color> <end color> <direction> <length> <file>

<start color> and <end color> are the both colors of the gradient in the
format rrggbb (like in HTML, but without the '#').

<direction> can be 'h' for a horizontal gradient and 'v' for vertical gradient.

<length> is the length of the gradient in pixels.

<file> is the output file of the gradient.

Example: ./gradient 000000 ffffff h 256 out.png

Creates a horizontal gradient from black to white which is 256 pixels long.
