Map Pattern Editor
Current limitations on patterns:
- Any repeat size up to 24x24.
- Any foreground color with a white background.
Access map pattern editor on the File, Tools
submenu.
This was initially designed for stratigraphy
and lithologic patterns, so the patterns have a distinct bias toward
geology. The usage was then adapted for Geosym, and was recently adapted
for all database plots.
Right click on any pattern to:
On the file menu you can save all the patterns to the zipatone directory.

Form shows two views of the current pattern:
- On the left, blow up. The grey portion is not used; it
shows the full extent of a max sized pattern, 24x24.
- On the right, full size view, showing how it repeats.
The hardest part of designing patterns is to visualize
how they repeat right/left and top bottom.
To change pattern:
- Use the spin buttons to change the number of rows and
columns.
- Double click to color/uncolor a pixel within the pattern.
- Use the color menu choice to change the foreground color.
The menu allows you to:
- Replace the pattern you started editing.
- Add a new pattern at the end of the patterns. This will
leave the original pattern intact.
