Defining warp and weft color expressions

You can use one color for all the warp threads and another for all the weft threads, or you can set up a sequence of colors for each.

When defining thread color sequences using the pattern expression language, you must identify the colors alphabetically. Therefore, you are limited to 26 colors of thread in the weaving.

Using the warp and weft color panels, you can create expressions that describe the color sequences that you want. You can also use any letters that you like and then change the associated color later by modifying the color set. For more information, see To edit weave colors.

The following table includes an example of a simple color sequence expressed in the Corel Painter pattern language.


Thread color sequence	Description
[B 8 D 4]	Use color B for 8 threads, use color D for 4 threads.
