Computer-Aided Figured Graph Designing for Jacquard Weaving [Hardcover]

1. Introduction to Computer- Aided Figured Graph Designing (CAFGD). 2. Computer-aided figured graph designing  Terminologies. 3. Working principle of mechanical and electronic jacquards. 4. Algorithm for manual and computer-aided figured graph designing. 5. Tools and options of figured graph editing software. 6. Designing different types of figured graphs using various tools and options. 7. Scanning, resizing, colour reduction, editing, and weave mapping. 8. Weave creation, float, and float control. 9. Graph preparation for different figured fabric varieties. 10. Figured graph simulations, draping, graph printing, punching, and lacing.

This book explains the common principles and systematic fundamental procedure of Computer-Aided Figured Graph Designing for jacquard weaving using any software. It covers the mathematical calculations to be followed in different stages of converting the given motif to figured graph design with required weave inputs.
