SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

12       KXStitch is a program that lets you create cross stitch patterns and
13       charts. Patterns can be created from scratch on a user defined size of
14       grid, which can be enlarged or reduced in size as your pattern
15       progresses. Alternatively you can import images from many graphics
16       formats which will allow you to reduce the number of colors and to
17       restrict the conversion to full stitches or optionally use fractional
18       stitches. You may also use an image as a background. These imported
19       images can then be modified using the supplied tools to produce your
20       final design.
21
22       There are many tools to aid designing your pattern, from open and
23       filled rectangles and ellipses, filled polygons and lines and
24       backstitching. Additionally cut, copy and paste can be used to
25       duplicate selected areas. Selected areas can also be rotated 90, 180
26       and 270 degrees anti clockwise, or mirrored horizontally or vertically.
27
28       There is also a pattern library that can be used to store small and not
29       so small portions of patterns that can then be reused in other
30       patterns. The patterns in these libraries are stored in a hierarchical
31       list that makes it easy to sort and navigate them to find the ones you
32       want. These pattern libraries can also be used as alphabets by
33       assigning a character to each one. By using the Alphabet tool, each key
34       press is searched for in the current library and if present, the
35       associated pattern will be inserted in the pattern.
36
37       When your ready, you can print out your design in several formats.
38       There are options to print out cover sheets, instructions and a floss
39       key including amount of thread used and number of stitches.
