It returns a set of hue, saturation and tint/shade variations of your color, as well as suggests color schemets to you UI-patterns.com - User Interface Design Patterns - The purpose of this site is over time to fill some of the gaps - especially by providing code examples as to how how the different patterns can be implemented: to join theory with practice. Statistical Data Mining Tutorials - The following links point to a set of tutorials on many aspects of statistical data mining, including the foundations of probability, the foundations of statistical data analysis, and most of the classic machine learning and data mining algorithms.
