Poster Boy: Patrick White (ain@j.cc.purdue.edu) Archive Name: binaries/amiga/volume6/mweave.d.sh.Z Tested. NOTES: Sample patterns are posted as part of the docs. I converted teh arc to shars.. and did the renaming suggested in the docs. Had a great time playing with the sample patterns.. now all I need to do is learn how to weave so I can understand just how much fun I really had :-) . -- Pat White (co-moderator comp.sources/binaries.amiga) ARPA/UUCP: j.cc.purdue.edu!ain BITNET: PATWHITE@PURCCVM PHONE: (317) 743-8421 U.S. Mail: 320 Brown St. apt. 406, West Lafayette, IN 47906 [How do you get to heaven?

Cox * * Rt.1 Box 298 * * Morgantown, WV 26505 * * ALL RIGHTS RESERVED * ***************************************************************************** INSTALLATION: 1. Rename M_W.info to "MASTER WEAVE.info". 2. I suggest that you create a disk named PATTERN and install all files you have de-arced on this disk. The default disk id for load and save for patterns is PATTERN:. However, DF0: DF1: and DH0: are selectable. 3. NOTE: s_screen must be in the same directory as "MASTER WEAVE". 4. To run the program click on the icon from workbench. To run the program from CLI your CD must be the same directory as the program MASTER WEAVE and s_screen. PROGRAM NOTES: TITLE SCREEN As soon as the program loads a title screen will appear for about ten seconds. If you want you can click the left mouse button to rid yourself of the title screen sooner than the allotted time. TIE UPS If you are a weaver you will recognize the blank standard draft on the screen. The tie-up is a common one. Tie-ups can be changed at will by click- ing on the white square to turn it off and clicking in a blank square to turn that square on. You may have single, double, and tripple lifts for a particular lift combination. Your tie-ups can be in any order and any valid combination. COLOR The warp and weft templets are the same as you may encounter in most weaving books. To enter your own pattern simply select a color from the eight colors under the warp and click it into your desired square in the warp. (Color selection for weft is also done here) To erase a thread you have clicked in, just click again. You have the ability to change the default colors with the color pallette. Color combinations for each color is the standard 4096 colors of the AMIGA. To get the color pallette menu-select "COLOR PALETTE" under DISPLAY. Click on the color you want (in the color pallette window) and it will automaticly be displayed with it's number. Adjust the intensities of "R"ed "B"lue "G"reen with the knobs. You have eight weaving colors to work with. Colors 1,2,3,4,13,14,15,16 are system colors for the display. You may adjust these colors as you wish if you are not satisfied with the default values. (These values will be saved with your pattern when you "SAVE" so that each time you "LOAD" this pattern the system and your weaving colors will be changed to the "SAVED" values.) Warp and weft thread colors may be one to all of the eight colors for for multicolored patterns. SCROLL Both the warp and weft have scroll gadgets. Single click over the S C or hold down the select button for an auto-scroll. You may scroll to a maximum of 320 warp threads and 200 weft threads. The arrow in the gadgets point the direction of the scroll. WEAVING If you have entered warp and weft information into the warp and weft grids, to weave just menu-select under "DISPLAY" "WEAVE IT". You may stop the weaving process at any time by clicking the left mouse button. The draft will automaticly be displayed. TROMP AS WRIT Tromp as writ is an interpretation of the sequence of warp threading for treadling. To use tromp as writ, enter your warp info, select a color for your weft threads and menu-select under "EDIT" "TROMP AS WRIT". Your treadling will be entered into the weft. CLEAR WARP WEFT ALL To clear the warp or weft or all of the draft, select under "EDIT" your option. LINES For full screen weaving, all 200 weft shots, select LINES 200. This is handy for an IFF save of your pattern for a printing or drawing program. However, it is important that you save (IFF) as soon as the weaving is done because when you display draft the title bar will be refreshed. TITLE BAR This option in "DISPLAY" displays the screen title bar for screen dragging. This will let you get to the workbench printer screen dump or another program in a multitasking envoirment. This option toggles. To get the window title bar back just select "TITLE BAR" again. LOAD AND SAVE Menu-select LOAD OR SAVE. DRAWER is the path for the program to find the the patterns for load and save. PATTERN: is the default. If you have created a disk with this name all you have to do get a directory of patterns is click the left mouse button in the box directly below "DRAWER" and hit . If you click in DF1:, DF0:, DH0: or RAM: patterns from those locations will be loaded into the directory. ONLY patterns on the pattern disk will be listed in the window. To load a pattern that is displayed just click the left mouse button with the pointer over the pattern name you wish to load, then select "OK". SELECTIVE LOAD You may load the warp of one pattern and the weft of another. Some unique results can be obtained with this metheod. Load a complete pattern and go back to "LOAD" again. Select another pattern from the window by clicking over the pattern name. THEN click over "WARP" or "WEFT" and then "OK". That pattern's warp or weft, depending on what you selected, will be loaded into the pattern in memory. Weave it and see the mixed results. SAVE To save, select from path df0: df1: dh0: where you want it to go. Beneath path complete the pathname if needed. EXAMPLE " DF1:twill/ " and hit . When that directory is loaded type in the lower box the name of your pattern immediately to the right of the text therein. If you want to save the pattern as a file that can be loaded into an IFF compatable program, click on "IFF" and then "OK". Both the pattern and the IFF file will be saved. The pattern for "MASTER WEAVE" will have a .pat extension and the graphics image will NOT have an extension. In your paint program, for example, you would load "mypattern" not "mypattern.pat". A NOTE TO NON-WEAVERS: If you have no experience with weaving and you would like to use this program for making graphic backdrops, borders and ect, a book worth having would be "A HANDWEAVER'S PATTERN BOOK" by Marguerite P. Davidson. The patterns in this book are drafted. There is several hundred patterns in this book. Also, I have included in this arced file several patterns. Load them and study the patterns formed by the colored blocks in the warp and weft. Play and have fun. Caution: It is addictive. A NOTE TO ALL: If you find that this program is useful a donation of $35.00 would be appreciated. All persons who do so will receive an updated version of "MASTER WEAVE" with magnify,graphics warp and weft editor,printer character draft generator (prints out a complete draft) for $25.00 when available. I plan to have these features implimented by Mar. 1988 or sooner. The complete version of this program will be distributed by: Robert Robison c/o Computer Annex Wiley St. Morgantown, Wv. 26505 ph 1-304-292-8807 Send donation to the above address or to me at the address at the top of this document.
