# Licence: public domain
# Purpose: This bash script generates an SVG image of a uniform RGB palette
# Usage  : Modify the variables in the "User-modifiable variables" section
#          to taste; then run the script.  The SVG image is sent to
#          standard output.

bbits=2                       # Number of bits for blue
