However,I will be concerned about the granularity of this,and also,because my values have a peak of 485 now, it's all shown in a blue nuances.

Seems I did a piss poor job of extracting and generalising the routine from where I was using it. I've updated ColorRamp1785 with the improved version used below.

But soon I will probably have higher values , maybe 1000,maybe 100000 ... it's not as easy as I thought(looking on your code) to deal with those high numbers as well.

The following shows a few different possibilities. Try running it with a few of the following command lines to see the effects:

>euclid -MAPPING=C                ## the original 1021 color ramp
>euclid -MAPPING=C -CENTER        ## Same centered
>euclid -MAPPING=CE               ## The enhanced 1785 color ramp
>euclid -MAPPING=CE -CENTER
>euclid -MAPPING=BW               ## A grey scale
>euclid -MAPPING=BW -CENTER

You can also increase the size -SIZE=nnnn, but it just takes longer :)

#! perl -slw
use strict;
use GD;

our $MAPPING ||= 'CE';
our $SIZE ||= 500;
our $CENTER ||= 0;

sub euclid {
    my( $x, $y ) = @_;
    return sqrt( $x**2 + $y**2 );
}

my $img = GD::Image->new( $SIZE, $SIZE, 1 );
my $max = $CENTER ? euclid( $SIZE/2, $SIZE/2 ) : euclid( $SIZE, $SIZE 
+);


for my $y ( 0 .. $SIZE-1 ) {
    for my $x ( 0 .. $SIZE-1 ) {
        my $euclid = $CENTER ? euclid( $x - ( $SIZE/2 ), $y - ( $SIZE/
+2 ) )
                             : euclid( $x, $y );
        my $color =
              $MAPPING eq 'BW' ? colorRampGrey( $euclid, 0, $max )
            : $MAPPING eq 'C'  ? colorRamp1021( $euclid, 0, $max )
            :                    colorRamp1785( $euclid, 0, $max );;
        $img->setPixel( $x, $y, $color );
    }
}

open PNG, '>:raw', "euclid.png" or die $!;
print PNG $img->png;
close PNG;

system 'euclid.png';
