Understanding Points in SeamScape

SeamScape defines two types of points to enhance flexibility and precision in drafting patterns. Here's how they work:

Path Points

• Path points shape the path directly. Adjusting a path point will shape the path.

Sliding Points

• Sliding points do not shape the path but can slide along it.
• A sliding point can slide on up to two paths, thereby forming an intersection.

Notice how point A2 slides along the path A0 to A1 when being moved

Point A4 slides along the path A0 to A1 and A2 to A3, thus forming an intersection

All points can be utilized by multiple paths at the same time, offering dynamic versatility for complex patterns. For example, a single point could serve as:

• A sliding point on one path.
• A path point defining another.

These point types allow for seamless integration of constraints.
