Weave pattern matrix

Description

pattern_weave() returns a logical matrix indicating where the warp lines should be "up" for a specified weave pattern type and subtype. names_weave is a character vector listing supported weave pattern types.

Usage

pattern_weave(type = "plain", subtype = NULL, nrow = 5L, ncol = 5L)

names_weave

Arguments

`type`	Type of weave. See Details.
`subtype`	Subtype of weave. See Details.
`nrow`	Number of rows (length of warp).
`ncol`	Number of columns (length of weft).

Format

An object of class character of length 10.

Details

Here is a list of the various weave types supported:

basket: A simple criss-cross pattern using two threads at a time. Same as the "matt_irregular" weave but with a default subtype of 2L.
matt: A simple criss-cross pattern using 3 (or more) threads at a time. Same as the "matt_irregular" weave but with a default subtype of 3L.
matt_irregular: A generalization of the "plain" weave. A character subtype "U/D(L+R)" is a standard matt weave specification: U indicates number warp up, D indicates number warp down, L indicates number of warp up in repeat, and R indicates number of warp down in repeat. An integer subtype N will be interpreted as a "N/N(N+N)" irregular matt weave. A character subtype "U/D" will be interpreted as a "U/D(U+D)" irregular matt weave. Has a default subtype of "3/2(4+2)".
plain: A simple criss-cross pattern. Same as the "matt_irregular" weave but with a default subtype of 1L.
rib_warp: A plain weave variation that emphasizes vertical lines. An integer subtype N will be interpreted as a "matt_irregular" "N/N(1+1)" weave. A character subtype "U/D" will be interpreted as a "matt_irregular" "U/D(1+1)" weave. Default subtype of 2L.
satin: A "regular" satin weave is a special type of the elongated twill weave with a move number carefully chosen so no twill line is distinguishable. Same as the "twill_elongated" weave but with a default subtype of 5L.
twill: A simple diagonal pattern. Same as the "twill_elongated" weave but with a default subtype of "2/1".
twill_elongated: A generalization of the "twill" weave. A character subtype "U/D(M)" is a standard twill weave specification: U indicates number warp up, D indicates number warp down, and M indicates the "move" number. A character subtype "U/D" will be interpreted as a "U/D(1)" elongated twill weave. An integer subtype N will provide a "{N-1}/1(1)" elongated twill weave if N is less than 5, 6, or greater than 14 otherwise it will provide a "{N-1}/1(M)" weave where M is the largest possible regular "satin" move number. Default subtype of "4/3(2)".
twill_herringbone: Adds a (vertical) "herringbone" effect to the specified "twill_elongated" weave. Default subtype of "4/3(2)".
twill_zigzag: Adds a (vertical) "zig-zag" effect to the specified "twill_elongated" weave. Default subtype of "4/3(2)".

For both "matt" and "twill" weaves the U/D part of the subtype can be further extended to U1/D1*U2/D2, U1/D1*U2/D2*U3/D3, etc. For the "matt" weave the "(L+R)" part of the subtype can be further extended to (L1+R1+L2+R2), (L1+R1+L2+R2+L3+R3), etc.

Value

A matrix of logical values indicating where the "warp" is "up" (if TRUE) or "down" (if FALSE). Indices ⁠[1,1]⁠ of the matrix corresponds to the bottom-left of the weave while indices ⁠[1,ncol]⁠ corresponds to the bottom-right of the weave. This matrix has a "pattern_weave" subclass which supports a special print() method.

Examples

 # supported weave names
 print(names_weave)

 plain <- pattern_weave("plain", nrow = 7, ncol = 9)
 print(plain)

 matt_irregular <- pattern_weave("matt_irregular", nrow = 9, ncol = 11)
 print(matt_irregular)

 satin <- pattern_weave("satin", nrow = 9, ncol = 11)
 print(satin)

 twill <- pattern_weave("twill", nrow = 9, ncol = 11)
 print(twill)

 twill_zigzag <- pattern_weave("twill_zigzag", nrow = 18, ncol = 11)
 print(twill_zigzag)
