5. How to color a composite pattern on 3 Layers

note:
Full version of the Interface is on the CD and includes all the shapes ( 13 ) on Disc A and Disc B
Each of the 3 Layers can select any shape from Disc A or Disc B

A Kaleidoscope Pattern is the combination of 2 patterns being the mirror image of each other

The 2 patterns use the same Shape ( face and flip ), Tooth Number, Slot Location and Movement

The 'Interface' combines the face and flip patterns on the same 'Layer'

Flip CODE: 2B -11Cf- R

Face CODE: 2B - 11C - R

CODE: 2B - 11C ( f ) - R

The difference in the CODES is that the Flip CODE includes 'f' in the Location ... 11Cf

The 2 codes can be combined and written as one code ... CODE: 2B - 11C ( f ) - R

The 'f' is written in brackets ( f ) and indicates that the CODE is the same for 'face' and 'flip'

The Interface allows for 3 separate patterns to be designed and stacked upon each other

Layer 1

Layer 2

Layer3

Each pattern is on its own 'Layer' and colors can be selected from a 'Color Palette' to color the shapes

A different color can be selected for the face and flip shapes and a background color for Layer 1
A 'Hexadecimal Code' can be entered in lieu of using the 'Color Palette'

The top 2 Layers ( Layers 2 and 3 ) are transparent

The final design is the combination of the 3 patterns

Each pattern can be adjusted for 'CODE, Color and Other Features' whilst still viewing the final design
