The Pattern Studio Coordinate System

We're weaving something amazing! 🧵 Our documentation is still on the loom and will be ready soon. Right now, we're focused on stitching up the best possible software for you—because great tools come first, and the manual comes second. Hang tight, and thanks for your patience!

The Pattern Studio coordinate system provides a structured way to design patterns with precision and consistency.

The Pattern Studio coordinate system

Cartesian Coordinate System

The system uses an X-axis and a Y-axis to define positions and measurements.

The X-axis points to the right.
The Y-axis points upwards.

Polar Coordinates

Angles are absolute, measured in degrees from the positive X-axis (i.e. counter clockwise) with values as follows:

0° or 360°: Points to the right (positive X-axis).
90°: Points upwards (positive Y-axis).
180°: Points to the left (negative X-axis).
270°: Points downwards (negative Y-axis).
