Description
Knitter FOR LINUX
Knitter is a program designed for creating and visualizing three-dimensional models of knitting patterns. It utilizes GTK+ for its graphical user interface and has undergone testing on Linux, Windows, and OSX.
Key Features:
- Produces detailed three-dimensional models of knitting patterns
- Allows for rotation and zooming of the model using the mouse
- Displays stitches as red spheres and yarn connections as red lines
- Supports the KnitML standard for exchanging knitting patterns
Technical Specifications:
- Platform: Linux, Windows, OSX
- GUI: GTK+
- Price: FREE
- Developer: Dane Wagner
- Support for basic functionality with plans for more complex features
Native Language and Pattern Representation:
The program utilizes a language closer to traditional knitting patterns for input. For example, a 10x10 swatch pattern is represented as:
# Simple 10x10 swatch
sk co 9 turn # make a loop, cast on 9, turn fabric
{ k 10 turn } 9
Additional notes on pattern representation:
- Uses braces instead of asterisks for nesting repeated blocks
- Stitches need fixing in space to prevent falling due to gravity
# Simple 10x10 swatch, fixed in space
sk fix(-4,0,0) co 9 fix(4,0,0) turn
{ k 10 turn } 9
Simulation behavior:
- First slipknot and last stitch anchored in space for fabric generation
