Orchida Embroidery System (OES)
(Object
Oriented Embroidery Design system)
|
 |
 |
1 - OES is a
vector graphic editor (like-Macromedia Free Hand/Adobe illustrator) , enables
the user to build vector objects using the vector tools like (Line
/Bezier Curve/Arc…) .
2 - Converts
the vector objects to Embroidery by filling the regions with
vectors in several ways (Parallel vector, Varying direction vectors,
Template vector …)
3-Splits the
filling vectors into small pieces representing the stitches , tacking in
consideration some limitations such as (Maximum Stitch length ,user
defined length …).
4-Contains
additional features Such as :
A - Importing any type of Bitmap image (BMP/JPEG/GIF..) , to be used as
a guide in designing.
B -
Magic
wand tool to trace any raster region and convert it to a vector object.
C - Auto conversion of any clipart to embroidery objects and arranging them to
achieve minimum jump distance (Travel Sales Man Problem TSP).
D - Importing vector file (DXF,WMF ..).
E - Importing several stitch data files (DST,DSB,DSZ,T01,…) .
F - Reverse engineering of stitch data file to obtain the vector
Objects to enable the user to modify the properties of the objects
(stitch density , stitch length,..) and to reshape it.
G -
Editing tools such as (distort , rotate mirror..).
H - Raster Graphic Editor.
I - Importing True Type Font (TTF) and converting it to Embroidery Object.
J - Special envelops: to distort the font (MS WordArt like).
5-
Compiles the vector objects to several output formats according to the
machine type (Tajima ,Barudan,ZSK ..).
6-Transmits
the pattern to the embroidery machine via (Serial/Parallel) port with
a specific protocol according
to the machine type, also supports the old
input method such as: tape reader, tape punch…
7-Builds system
driver (VXD) to format floppy disk in a special format (16 Track,256
Byte/sec) and handles filing system of these special formatted disks to
support embroidery machine which accept this special formatted disks
as input method like (Barudan , ZSK).
