Re: 100 Different Colors

[Lola Smith <lola_smith55 yahoo com>]

Thanks Jan-Marek and everyone else who replied. The
suggestions have been really helpful. I'm making some
progress. But I didn't know I had to deal with
hue/saturation/intensity stuff for this. 

I searched but couldn't find any documentation for
gtk_hsv_to_rgb()?? One website (pretty old one) said
it was a private function. Can anyone point me to the
function's documentation if there's any?

Thank you! 
Lola
