1. A method of generating one or more linear blends from a list of one or more fill-paths defining a current linear blend, and at least one new fill-path, where the fill-paths each comprise a single colored parallelogram, the method comprising the steps of:

  • (a) adding one said new fill-path to said list to become a last fill-path in said list, if each condition of a set thereof is met, otherwise proceeding to step (c), said set comprising at least one condition, said one condition being based on the color of the new fill-path and the last fill-path and a threshold value, and said threshold value is preset to such a value so that the new fill-path will not be added to the list if the new fill-path does not visually form part of the current linear blend;

    (b) repeating said step (a) for each remaining said new fill-path; and

    (c) generating one or more linear blends from the first fill-path in said list to the last fill-path in said list.
