Replying as a tablet weaver, not currently a programmer: >- Should it help you create new patterns? Yes, and it should be able to indicate the real shape of the patterns (not just assume rectangular blocks). I assume the shape of each element would need to differ for some weave types (such as brocade?). >- Should it help you analyse existing patterns? Would be a bonus, but not particularly important to me. >- Would you like to see an online archive of patterns? Ditto. >- Do you like to see brocading supported? Definitely. It's high on my TW "to-do" list. >- Do you like to see pebble weave supported? Yes, though not high priority for me. Double face, Egyptian diagonals and threaded in (for borders) would all be more important for me. >- Who will be the user, novices, high end designers? Me - intermediate at some techniques, beginner at others. Possibly my husband too - complete TW beginner. >- How much time are you willing to invest to learn a new tool? I'd like something I could start using quickly, but I don't mind needing to put in quite a bit of work to learn to use the 'bells and whistles'. I also don't want to have to *unlearn* stuff - that is, I want it to be consistent with my computer habits (how right-clicks work, for instance). That applies inside the program too. If I spend some time learning to use the double face module and then want to try brocading, I want the way that module works to be consistent with the DF one. -- Jenny Kosarew from England mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Home Page: http://www.whorls.freeserve.co.uk Berkshire Guild Page: http://www.whorls.freeserve.co.uk/guild The Braid Society: http://www.braidsociety.org Send private reply to Jenny Kosarew <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ----------------------------------------------------------- To stop receiving tabletweaving (not tabletweaving-digest), send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: unsubscribe tabletweaving.
