The create-a-pattern function for alphas is a bit easier since you can draw it and other things. I'm also trying to make patterns like #57823 for good luck charm looking things (ex: grod's photo). A tutorial on the normal pattern maker would be great for beginners like me. Thank you. |

There are three aspects of the Normal Generator; colors, string order and the knots. Colors: Each color represents a letter in the alphabet (more on string order). String order: You can add and subtract the number of string and colors used in this section of the generator. Let's say that 🔴 = a, 🟠 = b, 🟡 = c, 🟢 = d, 🔵 = e, and 🟣 =f. You can arrange the way the colors appear in the pattern, if the order was (abcdeffedcba) then the strings would appear as (🔴🟠🟡🟢🔵🟣). Knots: The most important part of the pattern. Forward Knots are marked using (f). Backward Knots are marked using (b) Forward-Backward Knots are marked using (fb). Backward-Forward Knots are marked using (bf). Empty spaces are marked (0). There has to always be a comma in-between each knot-marking, eg: (f,f,f) From the string order is essential to the knots. Let's use the example string order, if row 1 is (f,f,f) and row 2 is (f,f) then the pattern would look like: 🔴🟡🔵 🔴🟡 Because 🔴 makes a forward knot onto 🟠, 🟡 makes a forward knot onto 🟢 and 🔵 makes a forward knot onto 🟣. |

@DenyceC I think I'm getting it. How would I code a shaped normal like #57823 ? Mark the empty spaces as zero?
