[forward of Rik's answer to one of my question]
|  |  For people who don't know what the 'midpoint' is, it defines
|  |  the points between 2 gradient stops where the color is the
|  |  average of the 2 colors.
|  
|  How is that different from dividing your gradient color interval 
|  in two? A smooth interpolation function?

The colors are interpolated with the following formula: 

C0 + x^n * (C1-C0)

with :

    C0 the first stop
    C1 the second stop
    x going from 0 to 1
    n controlling the midpoint

With current gradients, n is always 1.

Maybe you should send your question to the group as well
