Pattern Editor
***************
- The Warp / Weft pattern is input using text format. This is simple method and easy to understand. A pattern like 4A4B would denote 4 threads (ends or picks) of Color A followed by 4 threads of Color B, and so on. 4 colors are available in the Warp and Weft respectively. A pattern can be of a maximum of 1200 ends and 1200 picks;
