Gradient for Oct. Lim.

From Ultrafractal Wiki

Gradient for Oct. Lim. is a Coloring Algorithm in sam.ucl.

What is it?

This coloring was designed to be used with the Octagon Limit I transformation. It allow you to display a gradient that has exactly the shape of the base tile used in the Octagon Limit transformation. It can be used to do frames for each tiles or to give them relief. The best formula to use with it is "Pixel" in mt.ufm. You must copy the values "Point 1", "Point 2", ..., "Point 10" you used in the transform and paste them in the corresponding fields of the coloring (so that the gradient has the same shape as the tiles you used).
