BobbinWork Description

Applications for bobbin lace working diagrams Why?Working diagrams for bobbin lace designs are not just collections of unrelated dots and lines. General purpose graphical tools don't understand the relations between the dots and lines, so you have to do a lot of thinking to create and maintain the relationships, if possible at all. These tools thus have limited added value over pencil and paper. Graphical tools adapted to lace makers simplify the creational phase of some of the tasks, but they definitely don't solve the fundamental cohesion problem. Thus adjusting a design is still a tedious task.What? The BobbinWork approach closely follows how a lace maker learns and applies the stitches in working order and thus creates and maintains the cohesion missed elsewhere. A single design can have various presentations, just create one to get them all at your finger tips:· written instructions describing the stitches one by one· thread diagrams· pair diagrams· prickings with conventions that can vary per lace style (not yet implemented) In practice the current prototype is limited to design grounds and explore their variations. The polar grid generator (with stitches that have a constant shape and are not high at the inside and wide at the outside) is not yet integrated. Requirements: · Java
