between the different modes in Knit Visualizer. The arrow
The paintbrush
is selected when you are in Painting Mode. There is also a third mode, but one that
doesn't have a toolbar button, because it's a special case: Parsing Mode. You use the Pattern Entry
portion of the screen for typing in pattern rows and automatically generating symbols into new rows in
the chart.
You can switch between modes in several ways. To enter Select mode, do one of the following:
button
• Click on the Select Mode
• Click on the chart's row numbers, or the chart's column numbers
To enter Paint Mode, do one of:
• Click on the Paint Mode
button
• Click on a symbol in the Stitch Palette
Knit Visualizer automatically puts you in the correct mode if you click on a stitch in the Stitch Palette, or if
you click any of the row/column number headers.
You can easily tell which mode you are in because the mouse cursor changes to
a paintbrush in the chart area when you are in Paint Mode and the appropriate
mode button in the toolbar will be selected.
If you find that you have accidentally switched modes because you clicked in one of the areas mentioned
above, simply click the correct Mode button in the toolbar to switch back. If you accidentally painted a
stitch, use Undo (Control-Z) to remove that stitch.
Select Mode
The first mode (and the most intuitive for most computer users) is Select Mode. There are three types of
selections in Knit Visualizer. The status bar will give details on the size and type of the current or most
recent selection.
