Abstract
Displaying visual images by fractional color gradient increments. Distances between adjacent pairs of color shades in a color gradient are scaled down to distances of which the largest is one. The scaled distances are converted into fractions. A largest common denominator of the fractions is determined. The fractions are converted into fractions having the largest common denominator. Numerators of the converted fractions are used to provide samples of the color gradient at intervals of the largest common denominator. A texture is created from the samples. A visual image is displayed on a visual display according to the texture.
