摘要:Most textile weaving structures are biaxial, which consist of row and column strands that are called warp and weft, in
which weft (filling) strands pass over and under warp strands. Widely different patterns can be obtained by playing
with ups and downs in each row. In textile weaving, there mainly exist three fundamental types of weaving patterns:
plain, satin and twill.
We observe that all possible versions of the three fundamental types can be represented by a notation that is suitable
for user interface development. To obtain this simple notation, we first view weaving structures as a set of rows with
horizontal periodic patterns that are cyclically shifted and vertically stacked over each other. We then show that it is
possible to generalize this notation to represent a wider variety of weaving structures. In our general notation, the
initial weaving pattern in the first row is represented by a row of binary numbers and the shift operation is represented
by a column of integers. This set of integers provides us with a very simple notation to represent any biaxial textile
weaving structure. Based on this notation, we develop a java system that can let users design their own textile
weaving structures with a simple user interface. Using the system it is easy to understand the patterns produced by
different weaving structures.
