Simple idea may take time to emerge.<\/p>\n

Baltic grid mode presentation<\/h2>\n

Up to now, in Seizenn, there were two ways to draw a baltic pattern.<\/p>\n

1) In the mode \u201c Edit an inkle loom pattern\u201d, you can play with pickups and drops thread by thread. I will refer to this as the \u201crealistic tool\u201d.<\/p>\n

2) In the mode \u201cEdit a square pattern\u201d you can create a grid (or block) chart. I will refer to this as the \u201cBaltic grid\u201d mode.<\/p>\n

Grid charts are more common for Baltic pickup patterns, but they do not give a realistic preview of what the resulting band will look like.<\/p>\n

As both are useful, I was asked several times to be able to switch from one to the other and back. I was quite reluctant because it would have been very difficult to program and it would have work in very few cases. The two tools work a very different way, you can draw pattern in one tool that would be impossible to create with the other (three color pattern, carpet pattern etc).<\/p>\n

With the experience of what I did with tablet weaving tool (sulewasi mode), I tried an other way to fulfill the need, far simpler.<\/p>\n

In the realistic tool, in the “Edit Mode” panel I just added a feature that allows you to select “baltic grid”. It will not work for 3-color pickup patterns, it’s just for simple 2-color baltic patterns.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

When you select it, you switch from<\/p>\n

to\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Grid parameters<\/h2>\n

To use this mode, you need to adjust where the baltic grid begins on the left and where it ends on the right.<\/p>\n

In the threading pattern, you see the first blue dot is done with the 11th thread<\/strong>, and the last one is done with 29th thread<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

When you select “baltic grid”, new options become available in the “display options” panel.<\/p>\n

In this panel, where it says “Threads” set the “first” and “last” values, 11 and 29 in this example.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Grid use<\/h2>\n

You can then click on the grid to create your pattern<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

If you leave the “baltic mode”, you can see the result<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

In the “Display Option” panel you can also adjust opacity of the grid with the “baltic visibility” slider.<\/p>\n

If you create a picture while you are in “baltic grid”, the grid pattern will be visible. Thus you can choose the pattern representation you want during weaving.<\/p>\n

When you use \"\"\u00a0 or Sunna Heddle pattern\"\", first and last parameters are set automatically.<\/p>\n

Selection tool<\/h2>\n

In the “Edit Mode” panel,\u00a0 when you select “baltic grid” mode, a “selection tools” checkbox appears. If you check this function, new buttons appear.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

You can then select an area on the grid with you mouse. The area is surrounded with dashed blue and yellow line.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

When an area is selected, you can act on it using the different buttons. For example you can flip it horizontally.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

You can also copy and paste an area. With this selection, click on “selection copy”<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Use clipboard to copy pattern from square tool<\/h2>\n

you may notice that a representation of the selected area appears on the tool panel.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

You can then select the up-left point of the place you where you want to paste the pattern.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Then click on “selection paste”, you then get :<\/p>\n

Conclusion<\/h2>\n

There are limitations. For example it may not work if you have two baltic patterns side by side on the same band with a plain weave gap between the two. When you save a pattern, grid position is not saved. Of course will not work for 3-color patterns.<\/p>\n

Hope this new mode will help you.<\/p>\n
