Description mkkot 2006-12-05 22:23:03 UTC

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.5)
Installed from:    Unlisted Binary Package
OS:                Linux

Hello,

In Kolourpaint's documentation, section about Color Similarity (help:/kolourpaint/working-with-color.html#color-box) you have:

"
In this example, with a Color Similarity setting of Exact, a flood fill at (80, 100) would only fill one pixel, as the surrounding pixels are similar but not identical.
"

I've checked. It's not true, flood fill fills 2 pixels, not one.

You probably don't understand, so I adwise you to open screenshot located above cited text in some graphical application (kolourpaint for example?) and do exactly what this cite says.

Kolourpaint "The Color Box" section, flood fill patch

Confirmed.

I created a simple patch to change the coordinates to (65, 70) in order to
create a 1 pixel fill.

Sorry, I somehow completely missed this ticket.

I have checked today with the picture from here:
https://docs.kde.org/stable5/en/kolourpaint/kolourpaint/fill_color_similarity.png

I used Flood Fill tool with green color and color similarity "Exact" on pixel 80,100. 

The docs say: " In this example, with a Color Similarity setting of Exact, a flood fill at (80, 100) would only fill one pixel, as the surrounding pixels are similar but not identical."

In my experiment it filled whole white area with green color. So completely not as described in docs and also not as intended by developers.
