UltraScan Color Gradient Generator:
Color gradients can be generated for the purpose of providing
a third dimension to selected UltraScan III program graphs.
Color gradients are specified with a start color and a number of
color steps, each one having an end color and a number of points.
The total number of colors in the gradient is the sum of step points
plus one for the start color. The steps are saved in an XML file, with
an option to save a PNG file with the color legend.
