DataCrypt Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 (edited) Hello, I am trying to draw a pattern and have it fill my blank canvas in Paint.NET. But, I've been unsuccessful at accomplishing this. I would like to draw the following patterns and fill up my entire picture: 1). Draw a circle within a circle pattern (i.e. a small circle/ring at the center of my image and then a larger one outside of that one and then a larger one outside of that one, etc... until the entire image is filled up. I would like to control the thickness of the circles and spacing between each. 2). Draw a pattern of 5 stars (not filled - just the outline) to fill a blank image (i.e. n # of rows by x # of columns). 3). Draw a grid pattern over my entire image (perhaps one layer of horizontal lines and another of vertical lines). Again to fill the entire canvas (blank image) where I can control the spacing and thickness of the lines. Any assitance on how to go about this would be greatly appreciated. I would ultimately like to print these patterns on a transparency sheet of paper for a project I'm working on. Thank you very much for your time. Kindest Regards, Data Edited July 11, 2014 by DataCrypt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red ochre Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Hello Datacrypt, 1. http://forums.getpaint.net/index.php?/topic/28267-slinky-eccentric-ellipses-new-21st-april-2014/ 2. not sure what you are after - have a dig around in the Plugin Index here - http://forums.getpaint.net/index.php?/topic/15260-plugin-index/ there are various shape making plugins that can do stars and I believe 4 has a shape tool too. Then there are various Tiling plugins or the built-in Rotate and Zoom which has a tiling option too. 3. Again try the plugin Index - Perhaps 'GridMaker' or 'Diagonal Lines' would help. Hope that helps - good luck! Quote Red ochre Plugin pack.............. Diabolical Drawings ................Real Paintings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixey Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Hi @Data - Yes @Red's Plugins are awesome and give amazing results . Just look at the Slinky - isn't that awesome . There is another Plugin (which can be found via @Red's link in his post for Plugins) called "Random Shape Fill" by Pyrochild. It has all types of shapes that you can make to fill a layer . All those plugins should keep you busy a while .

barbieq25 Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 To make your canvas black - quickest way is to press CTRL + SHIFT + I which inverts the colour. Quote Knowledge is no burden to carry. April Jones, 2012 Gallery My DA Gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
