Sponsored by TWIST - Tablet Weavers International Studies & Techniques
Hi Everyone. Thanks so much Eckhard for sharing your program with all of
us. I've had it running and I've printed out the help file -- and I'll be
into it soon and will have more informed comments after that.
In the meantime, though, I thought I'd mention the tablet weaving
application that I developed. Being a mathematician at heart, my approach
was to consider the weaving to be a grid, and what I wrote was a series of
Excel spreadsheets that started with the weaver entering the desired "final
image"as a bit-map of cells. The spreadsheet also allowed selection of
threading direction, colours, starting position, number of holes and
technique (eg. 3/1 twill, snartemo, etc.). Then some 17 spreadsheets
linked together to produce the turning pattern required to produce the
weave, and a screen/printer simulation of how the weaving would look.
Excel was something of a limiting factor in the development, but I've been
out of the computer business so long that getting into Windows programming
was just too ominous. Anyway, the application works very well for me, but
is terribly user-unfriendly particularly to anyone not proficient in the
use of Excel.
