CSS Gradient image generator

A tool for generating images from linear gradient CSS. Sits on http://tombye.github.com/CSS3-Gradient-image-generator/

Intention

The images generated can be used as repeating background images, allowing a fallback option for browsers that do not support gradients.

Technical notes

Implementation

A canvas tag is used to draw a gradient to the same specification. This is then turned into a dataURI string which is used to create an image tag or for downloading as a file.

Unit tests

A suite of unit tests are included to enable testing against vendors implementation of the CSS3 syntax (which is not yet standardized).
