A simple pattern generator

[bn]

I am just looking at old stuff and maybe someone finds some use of the techniques to build up imageData in LC faster.
The way imageData is built in LC it is often a time consuming process. In certain cases one can speed up that process if it is repetitive like for some patterns.
That is the main point of this stack.

Apart from that you can generate fishbone patterns for your wardrobe, give the pattern to a weaver and then give the fabric to your taylor...

Click on all buttons and watch the times.

Kind regards

Very nice, but won't do for my kilt!

How utterly true...
But you could still sing "My Heart is in the Highlands, my Heart is not here"

Indeed.

Or I could work on a proper Plaid generator to pop out Jacquard Cards.

Your stack is very good re the weft of the material, but it does not do much
for the woof.

For that you need a dog.

Clarus! I miss you, Clarus.

[stam]

Ah the epic dogcow… I miss those times!

[Klaus]

Yep, no dog, but a dogcow!
I have a better (more pixelated) photo of it.

OK, you asked for it...

Clarus taught me a lot of tricks in LIvecode:

Too cool! Love the fake 3D.

Speaking of patterns...

I'm trying to do some blender-style diffusion patterns.
I'd like, for instance, to have a triangle with red, green, and blue vertices and have a complex color gradient across the face of the graphic.
I'm guessing LC isn't up to the task since I haven't been able to come up with a way to specify a fillgradient for more than two points not in a line.
Any ideas?

Mark,

Here's a cheat using a group of three graphics.

Thanks, Jim. That's pretty much what I'm aiming for, or something like

But the thought of tripling the number of polygons I'm dealing with is a deal-breaker.
For a moderately complex graphic with 6000 faces, LC is already too slow for real-time manipulation. Dealing with 18000 polygons just isn't going to work out.

Dealing with 18000 polygons

That's a bit much for LC, for sure.
Maybe try javascript in a browser widget
