plug-in: new - Gradient From Palette

This plugin will generate a gradient using the palette colors in the range specified by the first index and last index parameters.

Several gradient types can be generated (Smooth, Cyclic and Discrete)

· In a smooth gradient each segment of the gradient is a smooth transition between two colors.

· A cyclic gradient is a smooth gradient with one extra segment added at the end, to chain the last color to the first one.

· In a discrete gradient, each segment is a solid mass of color.

The gradient segments can be sorted automatically based on several criteria (luminance, value, hue, saturation, etc...)

There's also an option to invert the resulting gradient.
