Tool Bar

Alright so I have finally finished the color portion of the program (or at least I am pleased enough with it that I will leave it for now). I am now going to move on to filling out the tool bar's functionality. I think I will begin with zoom as that could affect how the program actually functions. After that it will be simply be going one by one making the tools work.

Here is a screen shot of what I have done so far now.



So what I have added....

You can now drag and drop colours. Simply click on one and drag it to another location. Also you can grab colours from the chooser pallet below and then drag them into the working pallet.

You can generate a colour gradient between two colours. Right click the first colour and then drag your mouse to the other colour once you release it will generate a gradient between the two colours.

You can select colours now. A rectangular box will appear around the colours you select for the left and right mouse buttons.

The tools in order going top to bottom left to right...


-Pencil
-Line
-Outline (takes the colour you have selected and places it around your image)
-Fill
-Ellipse
-Rectangle
-Burn (takes the colour you have selected and makes the colour you are clicking more similar to it)
-Dodge (opposite of burn)
-Flip Horizontal
-Flip Verticle
-Lasso Select
-Rectangle Select
-Colour Select
-Erase
-Zoom In
-Zoom Out
-Rotate (90 degrees at a time)
-The remaining arrows all bump the image one pixel in their direction (wrapping around if necessary)


So that's it. If you are Travis or anyone who has any ideas on other features I could add feel free to comment.

I have no knowledge of such things and thus have no right commenting but Mom told me you'd love me more if I blogged. I'm not sure if the blogging world is prepared for the endless non-sequitters and horrible spelling that would entail so I thought, for now at least, I might earn your love through comments.
So here it goes:
Your program sounds supper great.
