[FEATURE] add decimals to increment field #719

Open Ilushock opened 3 weeks ago

Ilushock commented 3 weeks ago

Dear developers. The ratio of the stitch width to its height is around 1.4 (usually)

This is usually calculated after measuring a test knitting sample. The program has the ability to increase the image size in multiples of integers. It would be great to set these values ​​with decimal places.

This is necessary so that the knitting image looks the same as in original picture.

Thanks you for your feedback. Which feature of AYAB are you referring to exactly? And does your report apply to AYAB 1.0.0 beta or an older version?

Ilushock commented 3 weeks ago

Version is 1.0, but it's no matter. I want to stretch an image by a factor of 1.4 for example. But there is no such possibility.

jonathanperret commented 3 weeks ago

OK, I suppose you’re talking about the Stretch operation that’s in AYAB 1.0. It’s true that it’s very minimalistic at the moment and only allows integer multiples. Extending this to decimal numbers sounds reasonable, although we’d have to be careful to disable anti-aliasing so that new colors aren’t introduced into the image. We’ll take a look at this after 1.0 is out. In the meantime I suggest you use any available image editor to do the stretching — that’s what I do personally anyway, because one often has to tweak some details in the image after it is stretched.

Everything is clear with other graphic editors. But then explain why you don’t want to connect AYAB with the DesignaKnit program? There shouldn't be any problems here at all.

jonathanperret commented 3 weeks ago

Not sure how relevant this is to the current issue, but we’d absolutely like to connect AYAB to DesignAKnit. Some steps have already been taken in that direction, but it will likely take some more time before something concrete is achieved.

jonathanperret commented 3 weeks ago

Forgot to mention that if you are a DesignAKnit user, you can already design your patterns in DAK and import them into AYAB for knitting!

Ilushock commented 3 weeks ago

In manuals it is called "How to determine knitting gauge". Gauge All calculations depend on it. And the pattern is built based on these calculations.

Ilushock commented 3 weeks ago

if these proportions are not observed, the drawing will not look natural

jonathanperret commented 3 weeks ago

Yes, I know about stitches not coming out as squares in general. The actual ratio depends on the method used.
