Abstract

The jacquard graph designers need to edit the motif outline perfectly as per the required shape. Then the designer has to retain the perfection of the edited boundary by the controlled application of binding weave marks. In this study, the possibility of using the “required directional color contour option” for controlled/restricted application of binding weaves in jacquard graph designing to get a perfect boundary of figure and ground is explored. The necessity of controlled application of binding weave marks required for extra warp, extra weft, and single cloth figured graph designing is noted. The presently used “all directional color contour option” is studied. The required directional color contour option available in the Arahpaint software is analyzed. The steps involved in using the “required directional color contour option” with the “brush option” for the application of binding weaves are explored. It is noted that all directional color contour option is an indirect methodology, whereas required directional color contour option is a direct methodology. It is observed that the systematic use of the required directional color contour option restricts the application of binding weave marks only in the essential places and avoids it in the nonrequired edges and corners of figure and ground portions of the graph design. By this, the edited design boundary is maintained without any distortion in shape even after the application of binding weave marks. It enables for flawless application of binding weave for the smallest and intricate figured extra warp, extra weft, and single cloth figured graph designs.
