I want to create a representation of the HSV cone similar to that at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:HSV_cone.png to show how it is derived from the CIE 1931 chromaticity diagram http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:CIExy1931.svg. I want all the labels, arrows, and the wedge cut-out in this graphic -- which is unfortunately a PNG and not a vector graphic -- to be removed.
If have tried using the clone tool to obliterate the unwanted arrows and letters, but cannot get a clean blend, not even with a blurred brush tool. One approach would be to treat a vector circle as the top of an apple pie, and create a series of wedges like slices. Then, in each wedge (slice), create a gradient from the edge to the tip. But I can't figure out how to blend adjacent wedges.
Is there another approach to get a continuous rainbow of colours around the perimeter of the circle, and then do a radial blend from white in the centre to the perimeter?
I use The Gimp for pixmaps and Inkscape for vector graphics, and also Scribus. If you don't have experience with these programs, can you describe what to do in general terms, not in specific PhotoShop, Illustrator, or InDesign terms. It shouldn't be too hard to translate a general description into the necessary actions.
Regards, Hedley
