weaveDraft - Structural Analysis of Woven Textile Drafts from WIF Files
Imports weaving drafts stored in the Weaving Information
File (WIF) interchange format, reconstructs the binary warp and
weft drawdown from either a liftplan or a tie-up with
treadling, and computes structural descriptors of the cloth:
float length distributions, interlacement frequency, weave
repeat size, a directional float ratio, and thread colour
sequences. A flat-colour simulation of the fabric face helps to
separate patterns carried by the interlacement structure from
patterns carried by the thread colours. Intended for
computational analysis and documentation of handloom and other
multi-shaft textiles.
