This is a Monodevelop/VisualStudio solution with two projects. I've only used the code once to generate a cover for my thesis (unrelated subject). At the very least it may serve as a nice sample application, either for RESTful interfaces with .Net or for drawing with Cairo.

ColourLoversAPI

A simple API to the RESTful interface of COLOURLovers.

Dependencies

Only a few system libraries: System.Web, System.Xml and System.Drawing (for System.Drawing.Color, can be easily replaced)

CairoColours

A sample application to ColourLoversAPI. It uses Cairo and Pango to draw an image and uses the ColourLoversAPI to determine the colours.

Controls

• Space new drawing
• Left/Right previous/next colour palette
• Up/Down new seed for the random generator
• b save to image on the Desktop (png)
• s save to image on the Desktop (svg)
• p save to image on the Desktop (pdf)
• o toggle colour information
• Escape/q quit

Dependencies

This is a somewhat old project so any Gnome2 era (or later) release of the following libraries should work: GTK, Cairo, Pango
