## Project structure



This project is supposed to be simple to use. People can download each individual palette directly from GitHub, or download the entire `palettes/` folder and use it on any of the many supported applications.



* [`palettes/`](palettes/) - Contains palettes in GIMP's GPL format.

    * The GPL format is plain text, can be easily viewed and edited in a text editor.

    * The filename reflects the internal `Name:`, adjusted to avoid special characters.

    * Each palette has a proper `Columns:` value, so that it nicely displays in GIMP and in the HTML preview.

    * Comments are ignored by most applications (and even automatically stripped), but they are used by the HTML generator of this project. Each palette can have a comment with some overall description and links to external websites.

    * Each color will be properly named, if relevant (i.e. if the colors originally had names in their original context).

    * The whitespace will follow the GIMP convention: the three RGB values are space-padded, and separated by a Tab from the color name.

* [`README.md`](README.md) - Contains overall description and links to the sources of these palettes.

* [`.github/workflows`](.github/workflows/) - GitHub setup to automatically run some scripts after a commit.

    * [`gh-pages.yml`](.github/workflows/gh-pages.yml) - This will automatically publish online the new HTML page after any changes to the master branch.

    * [`test.yml`](.github/workflows/test.yml) - Runs tests on the [`gpl_to_html.py`](gpl_to_html.py) code, testing if the code behaves properly. It does NOT test the palettes.

* Miscellaneous scripts - Scripts with a descriptive name for their purpose. If you only want to consume the palettes, these scripts can be ignored. If you are a developer wanting to contribute to the repository, these scripts can be useful. Some may need to be adapted to your environment.



The [online page][preview] is generated from [`./make_index_html.sh`](make_index_html.sh) and pushed to the [`gh-pages` branch](https://github.com/denilsonsa/gimp-palettes/tree/gh-pages). That page is designed to be static and fully functional even without JavaScript. Of course, having JavaScript will enable additional features (e.g. mouse-over information and filtering the palette list). That page is also designed to be usable on any viewport dimensions. Unfortunately, it looks quite ugly (sorry about that).



## Contributing



How to add a new palette to this project:



* Use any application to create a `.gpl` file inside [`palettes/`](palettes/) directory.

* Make sure the palette is displayed correctly in the HTML page.

    * Use `./gpl_to_html.py -o preview.html palettes/*.gpl`. Requires Python 3.

    * Is the `Name:` set properly?

    * Is the `Columns:` set properly? Avoid larger than 20 or 24, although exceptions can be made. (This number is a guideline, not a rule.)

    * Comment section:

        * Do you want to add a short summary as a comment?

        * Do you want to add URLs in the comment?

        * It is preferable to cite the source of the palette in the comment.

    * Do the colors have any names? If yes, please add the names.

* Make sure the palette works fine inside GIMP. (If it looks fine in the HTML page, very likely it will work in GIMP.)

    * Be careful! Upon opening the palette in GIMP, it will remove any comments you have manually added. Make a copy of the palette first, or mark the file as read-only.

* Add an entry to the [`README.md`](README.md) file, citing the source of the palette.

    * Keep the entries sorted alphabetically.

* [Create a pull request](https://github.com/denilsonsa/gimp-palettes/pulls).

    * Remember to include the new palette file(s) (`palettes/*.gpl`) and the changes to the `README.md` file.

    * Don't add the HTML file, as the real HTML file will be generated automatically.



## TODO



* Make the form change the URL, so that permalinks for the current view are possible.

* Make the form less ugly.
