Transform hexagonal to raster - a wife's question

Mon, Jul 30, 2018 10:25 AM

Sarah,

I'll try the R-geo approach suggested for a small, sought after kokopeli,
and duck an integrated raster colorizer (five years to proto-type given my
skills.) I've forwarded all this to Dr Massa. I would say though that things
'loom' tend to work both for fabric and bead. Glad you checked the thread.

Happy summer,
Chris

Hi!

I nearly didn't open this email thread: glad I did!

I have some odd R tools for weaving, but nothing for beading.

I suspect this is the best way to do it, although the actual result
would depend on the particular pattern.

Whether it's worth writing R code to perform this task depends a lot
on how many patterns need to be converted.

A more R-geo approach might be to import the original pattern from an
image file, turn it into spatial polygons, then rasterize it,
completely ignoring the hexagonal nature of the original. With some
playing with the raster grid size, you could probably get a decent
approximation.

and

loom beader.
Thanks again,

My wife showed me a beading pattern that she was working on that looks

to

my eye like a hexagonal grid, its called a peyote stitch, and she needs

to

transform it to a loom stitch, essentially a raster. In the beading

world

they suggest combining two rows into one. If asked, what have you

tried, I

would say I tried to duck, but... In practical application, the two rows
equals one doesn't appear to preserve the desired pattern when beading

the

loom, probably something like netting out the half-steps when you're

going

from two rows to one = n+1 or n +2 for bead count on the combined row.
40x40 hex grid, OK, I'll get out my graph paper. Summer.

Thank you for your forbearance, and any very general thoughts

appreciated,

ie transforms sans datums & etc.
