Erythronia
The default pattern is my conception of what Erythronium
dens-canis, the "true" dog-tooth violet, looks like. (It is a
European species and I have only seen pictures.) You can change
the colors to get other versions of the pattern, such as our
beloved emblem, the yellow trout-lily, Erythronium americanum,
which, where I come from, is called the dog-tooth violet, although
it is not even pink. The "dog-tooth" part of the name is supposed to come
from the shape of the bulb.
- If you erase the font you will get a choice of serif,
sans-serif or monospaced fonts. You can also try typing in
any font that your system has. (If your system doesn't have a
font with the name you type, you will just get the default
font.)
- Likewise, for breakchar, if you erase it, you will have a choice of ◆ or
●, but you can type in any character you want.
- The "Draw Slowly" button will draw the diagram one step at a
time, so you can see how it is done,
with "step time" milliseconds between steps.
If you right click on the image drawn, you can download it.
There are two ways to save your settings.
You can save save them inside your browser.
- To save them under a new name, type the name beside
the "save as new" button and press the button.
- You can also select an existing set of settings
settings using the select drop menu and either save
current settings to that set or read those settings
in, replacing your current settings.
To save settings outside your browser, press the "Export"
button and copy them from the text window that will
appear. Then you can save them in a file or send them to a friend.
If you want to use them again later, press the "Import" button
and copy them into the text window.
