Thanks toe_head2001,

 

Some ideas:

An option for a second color other than white would be nice.

An option to change direction of diagonal lines.

An option to control the spacing between the lines and the dots. :)

Color other than white? That would be trivial to add, but Gingham always uses white... as far as I know. (unless it's stained, in which case it would be yellowed ;)) I guess, for me, keeping the gingham pattern pure is more important than adding artistic options. I may change my mind though.

 

You mean Downward diagonals in addition the Upward diagonals? Already added for the next release. I meant to have in the first release, but forgot to add it.

 

Spacing? Sure, if you can demonstrate that they would look good in a gingham pattern. I'm using Hatch styles provide by the .Net Framework. I quickly picked a few that I thought would look the best, but they may be more. You can find the full list of them in paint.net's toolbar when using the Bucket/Brush/Line/Shape tools; they're labeled as "Fill:". You can play with them, and see if any look like they'd be a good fit. The two currently in the plugin are 'Dark Upward Diagonal' and 'Percent 50'.

I do not know if this cloth counts as a gingham pattern (I used to have the same one on my chairs) but I like the multiple colors.

For the diagonal lines , Yes that is what I meant though all we have to do is flip the layer.  :)

Oooo, I love the look of that cloth Eli.

 

There is this plugin Gingham and the Tattersall plugin, I think maybe one of them, if not both of them, could be updated to do what you are asking for?

I concur, I like the look of it. I plan on making a general tartan/plaid plugin in which every line can be customized individually, and x and y lines can be completely different from each other. The number of lines would be user defined too.

 

For example, you'd be able to enumerate, say a 5 horizontal line pattern of varying widths, colors & styles, and also enumerate 3 completely different custom vertical lines.

 

I already know how I'm going to most of it. It will take a little longer since I'll have to do it in Winforms instead of IndirectUI. Hopefully I'll start working on it this coming week.

 

Edit: The Tartan plugin is available.
