Command: Graph/Display < GD >
Purpose: Full-screen Weaving graphic with Palette editing
Information:
This provides a graphics display of the current weaving. It
shows a pattern draft section using the current Range, Zoom
level, Select Data, and Modes settings. Once the weaving is
displayed, pressing a function key accesses the EGA or VGA
palette controller; on a CGA system the arrow keys provide
changes to the background and palette.
The positioning of the threading, treadling, and tieup is
determined by Weave/Styles/Format, and reflects the current
format being used by the editor.
The Zoom and Variable Size options determine the size of the
graphic.
Comments:
Graph/Range is identical to Graph/Display except it allows
you to set the Range. Subsequently, you can use
Graph/Display until you want to reset the Range again.
Graph/Block Pick is also identical to Graph/Display except
it allows you to select warp and weft marked blocks to
display.

Command: Graph/Fast Pattern < GF >
Purpose: SWITCH--toggle Fast Pattern option ON/OFF
Information:
Fast Pattern is a suppression feature. It allows you to
show the pattern ONLY, suppressing the display of all Data
(threading, treadling, etc.) currently ON under the Select
Data menu.
It is simply a shortcut for using or not using data in the
display. If Fast Pattern is ON, the weaving is graphed at a
faster rate, since data displays do not have to be
calculated.

_______________________________________________________________
Command: Graph/Range < GR >
Purpose: Change warp and weft ranges and display weaving.
Information:
Ranges are NOT the SIZE of a weaving--they are simply a way
of identifying a section of it. You can also alter ranges
through Weave/Range.
Comments:
Normally, your ranges will equal the entire weaving.
Once you have restricted the range to a section of the
weaving, Graph/Display shows only that part until you use
this option again to reset the range.

_______________________________________________________________
Command: Graph/Block Pick < GB >
Purpose: Pick warp and weft blocks and display weaving.
Information:
Blocks are numbered ranges within the weaving used to repeat
or alter a section in the editor. They can also be used
with this feature to display sections of the weaving.
When you choose this option, you are presented with Block
Pick windows for both warp and weft. Then the weaving is
displayed just like Graph/Display.
Comments:
If the block you pick has no threads in it, the weaving
will not be displayed.

Command: Graph/Select Data < GS >
Purpose: MENU: Select the data to graph with the pattern.
Information:
Threading, treadling/tieup, Harness Lift Plan, and Color
bars are the optional data you can display.
This menu also shows the current status of each switch.
Comments:

_______________________________________________________________
Command: Graph/Select Data/Threading < GST >
Purpose: SWITCH: turn threading data ON or OFF.
Information:
The threading is shown along with the weaving pattern with
Graph/Display if this switch is ON.
Comments:
The position (top or bottom) is controlled by
Weave/Styles/Format.
The color of the threading data is controlled by Color/Data
Color.

_______________________________________________________________
Command: Graph/Select Data/Treadling/Tie-Up < GSR >
Purpose: SWITCH: turn treadling/tie-up data ON or OFF.
Information:
Treadling and tieup data are shown along with the weaving
pattern with Graph/Display if this switch is ON.
Comments:
The position (left or right and top or bottom) is controlled
by Weave/Styles/Format.
The color of the data is controlled by Color/Data Color.
See Also: Graph/Display
_______________________________________________________________
Command: Graph/Select Data/Harness Lift Plan < GSH >
Purpose: SWITCH: turn Lift Plan data ON or OFF.
Information:
The Harness Lift Plan (Peg Plan) is shown along with the
weaving pattern with Graph/Display if this switch is ON.
Comments:
The position (left or right) is controlled by
Weave/Styles/Format.
The color of the data is controlled by Color/Data Color.
See Also: Graph/Display
_______________________________________________________________
Command: Graph/Select Data/Color Key Bars < GSC >
Purpose: SWITCH: turn Color bar data ON or OFF.
Information:
The Color Key Bars are shown along with the weaving pattern
with Graph/Display if this switch is ON.
These bars, placed next to the threading and treadling data,
show the color of the respective warp or weft threads.
Comments:
If Color/Color Weave is OFF, the Color bars simply show the
current single warp and weft colors.
The color of the data itself is controlled by Color/Data
Color.

Command: Graph/Zoom < GZ >
and Graph/Aspect Zoom/Horiz. or Vertical < GZH or GZV >
Purpose: SETTINGS: Adjust zoom level and aspect for graphic.
Information:
If the ZOOM setting is 0 and Variable Size is OFF, the
graphic of the weaving is displayed using one display pixel
per warp and weft thread.
If the ZOOM setting is 0 and Variable Size is ON, the
graphic of the weaving is displayed by magnifying each
thread by its Symbol/Size Number.
A ZOOM setting above 0 magnifies each thread by the Zoom
value times the Zoom Aspect for warp or weft.
The Horizontal Zoom Aspect determines the relative
magnification (thickness) of all Warp threads.
The Vertical Zoom Aspect determines the relative
magnification (thickness) of all Weft threads.
Comments:
VGA displays using the 640x480 mode have a "square" aspect
ratio, meaning a graphic 100 pixels by 100 pixels will
appear square. For this mode, equal warp and weft Aspect
Zoom settings work fine. Other video modes require an
uneven Aspect Zoom settings to achieve square blocks.
If your warp threads are twice as thick as your weft, you
can use the Aspect Zoom settings to change the overall
appearance of the graphic.

_______________________________________________________________
Command: Graph/Variable Size < GV >
Purpose: SWITCH: toggle variable magnification ON or OFF.
Information:
If Variable Size is OFF, the graphic of the weaving is
displayed using the current ZOOM and ASPECT ZOOM values.
The Symbol number for each thread has no affect on graphics
in this case.
If Variable Size is ON, the graphic of the weaving is
displayed by magnifying each thread by its Symbol/Size
Number times the Zoom times the Aspect.
Comments:
You use the symbol/size numbers to represent a warp or weft
containing various sizes of thread.

Command: Graph/Modes < GM >
Purpose: Menu: Select the video mode for the graphic display.
Information:
Graphics modes require a composite or color graphics system.
The menu displayed is determined by the current display
selected under Install/Displays.
The Color Graphics Adapter (CGA) is the original IBM color
standard. It poses significant limitations compared to an
EGA or VGA system, both in the resolution possible and in
the number of simultaneous colors. Resolution determines
the maximum number of warp and weft threads displayable at
one time. The 16 colors displayable in text mode are
combined into 4 in CGA low-res graphics. This limits the
display of multi-color-generated patterns.
The Enhanced Graphics Adapter (EGA) is a significant
improvement to the original IBM color standard. It provides
16 simultaneous colors in high resolution graphics modes;
colors are selectable from a palette of 64. The 16 colors
displayable in text mode remain simultaneously visible in
graphics modes and can be adjusted from the palette of 64.
This provides continuity between text and graphics modes.
The Multi-Color Graphics Adapter (MCGA) enhances the CGA
standard with thousands of colors and a higher resolution
monochrome mode with a 1:1 ratio making square blocks easy.
The Video Graphics Array (VGA) has the 262,144-color
MCGA palette, plus an additional 16-simultaneous-color high
resolution mode equal to MCGA's monochrome high res.
Comments:
If you have a monochrome display set up (Display 0), the CGA
menu is presented, however these modes are not available;
an information window is presented in this case.
