Blend tool midpoints

Hi,

In Blend tool, what are midpoints?

Normally, the midpoint of an interval can be found by finding the half-way point of each of the x and y values of the 2 points that define the interval.

In Blend tool, midpoint often is not at center of gradient segment, between two stops (and there is an option to place it at center).

How to explain what midpoint is, here?

Midpoints are the points along the gradient where the two endpoint *colors* of a segment are equally blended. By default, midpoints are placed at the geometric center of the segment, but they can be moved to any other point along the segment.

Note that a lot of the relevant concepts might already be covered in the documentation for the "old" gradient editor (gimp-gradient-editor-dialog section), so it's worth taking a look at.
