ComfyUI Node: LayerUtility: GradientImage V2

LayerUtility: GradientImage V2:

The LayerUtility: GradientImage V2 node is designed to generate a gradient image based on specified parameters such as width, height, angle, and color transitions. This node is particularly useful for creating smooth color transitions in your artwork, which can be used as backgrounds, overlays, or for other creative purposes. By allowing you to define the start and end colors, as well as the angle of the gradient, this node provides a high degree of customization and flexibility. The main goal of this node is to simplify the process of creating gradient images, making it accessible even to those without a technical background.

LayerUtility: GradientImage V2 Input Parameters:

width

This parameter defines the width of the gradient image. It accepts integer values with a minimum of 4 and a maximum of 99999, with a default value of 512. The width determines how wide the generated gradient image will be, impacting the overall aspect ratio and the visual spread of the gradient.

height

This parameter specifies the height of the gradient image. Similar to the width, it accepts integer values ranging from 4 to 99999, with a default value of 512. The height affects the vertical dimension of the gradient image, influencing its aspect ratio and the vertical spread of the gradient.

angle

The angle parameter sets the direction of the gradient. It accepts integer values from -360 to 360, with a default value of 0. The angle determines the orientation of the gradient, allowing you to create horizontal, vertical, or diagonal gradients based on the specified degree.

start_color

This parameter defines the starting color of the gradient. It accepts a string representing a color in hexadecimal format, with a default value of "#FFFFFF" (white). The start color is the color that appears at the beginning of the gradient transition.

end_color

The end color parameter specifies the ending color of the gradient. It also accepts a string in hexadecimal format, with a default value of "#000000" (black). The end color is the color that appears at the end of the gradient transition.

LayerUtility: GradientImage V2 Output Parameters:

image

The output parameter is an image, which is the generated gradient based on the specified input parameters. This image can be used in various creative projects, serving as a background, overlay, or any other element where a smooth color transition is desired.

LayerUtility: GradientImage V2 Usage Tips:

• Experiment with different angle values to create unique gradient orientations that suit your project.
• Use contrasting start and end colors to create a more dramatic gradient effect.
• Adjust the width and height parameters to match the aspect ratio of your final artwork or design.

LayerUtility: GradientImage V2 Common Errors and Solutions:

Error: "Invalid color format"

• Explanation: This error occurs when the start_color or end_color parameters are not in the correct hexadecimal format.
• Solution: Ensure that both the start_color and end_color parameters are valid hexadecimal color codes, such as "#FFFFFF" for white or "#000000" for black.

Error: "Width or height out of range"

• Explanation: This error happens when the width or height parameters are set outside the allowed range of 4 to 99999. - Solution: Adjust the width and height parameters to be within the specified range to avoid this error.

Error: "Angle out of range"

• Explanation: This error occurs when the angle parameter is set outside the range of -360 to 360.
• Solution: Ensure that the angle parameter is within the allowed range to prevent this error.
