Screenshots
The screenshots below are made with the 0.2.0 version of Knitter, which uses ODE for the physics engine and wxWidgets for the display. Versions before 0.1.0 did not have a real physics engine, so patterns rendered using those older versions will look somewhat different. Click on the thumbnails to view the full image.
A simple swatch on OSX from an older 0.2.x release. The two corners have been pinned too close together so the fabric has slumped (this can also be because the gravity has been set too high). The pattern for this swatch can be seen in the pattern entry field at the bottom. The pattern has been rotated so that everything fits in the window. "Down" is towards the bottom left.
A set of increases and decreases. This pattern was knitted left to right (or possibly right to left...). The compression at the left and right edges is due to gravity pulling the loose ends of the fabric down as well as from the fabric pulling itself inwards. This shot was generated directly from increase.pat, available in the examples directory. All four edges of the pattern have been fixed. This image also shows the new tool layout in 0.3.0.
And the same image as above, except rendered to show the fixed stitches. Clicking on any of the squares in the image allows the user to drag that stitch. The stitch will remain fixed in space wherever it is left. To unfix any stitch (even one explicitly fixed using the fix() keyword), double-click any of the red squares.
A simple cable, again using version 0.3.0. This image shows off the new ability to use different colored yarn in the pattern. This is from simplecable.pat, also available in the examples directory. Only the top left and top right stitches have been fixed in this shot; the rest of the fabric is hanging free.
