Patterns comprise of the most simple form of shape or shapes that can be filled with any filter. Some of the predefined patterns are rectangles, stars, graphs and borders. User should keep in mind that the default Pattern of 'None' will apply the filter to the complete image. So if you are applying the filter and the filter is appears inside rectangles or diamonds but you want to apply the filter to the complete image, then the user should change the Pattern to 'None'.
Following is the complete list of the 'Patterns' introduced in the Lobster application :-
'None','Horizontal Strip','Horizontal Strips','Vertical Strip','Vertical Strips',
'Rectangle','Rectangles','Uneven Rectangles','Parallelogram','Parallelograms','Uneven Parallelograms',
'Windows 1','Windows 2','Plus Sign','Plus Signs','Uneven Plus Signs','Triangle','Triangles',
'Uneven Triangles','Diamond','Diamonds','Uneven Diamonds','Star','Stars','Uneven Stars','Randomize',
'Left Graph','Right Graph','Top Graph','Bottom Graph','Ordinary Border' and 'Rectangles Border'.
Pattern Filtering is one of the most powerful features of the Lobster application if the user understands the 'Interface' of the lobster application.The most basic concept for the creation of Pattern Filtering is using any filter just like any color to fill any design including the vector graphics and 3D graphics.Before we can understand the complex topics of filling the vector graphicsor 3D graphics with the filter.
Custom Pattern Filtering was designed to overcome writing the source code for new patterns as 'Custom Pattern Filtering' can extract the patterns / designs from any image. Actually, 'Custom Pattern Filtering' can extract at least 6 patterns from any image through the use of Thresholde,Edges and Custom Color. 'Custom Pattern Filtering' can be used to even extract Vector Graphics and 3D Graphics from any image. Even though, it does very difficult tasks,'Custom Pattern Filtering' is very easy to learn and use.
'Pattern Style' means Pattern inside a Pattern and in simple words means a style added to the Pattern. Though, it is not like the fonts where the shape and size of the font changes. On the contrary, the Pattern remains of the same size but the design inside the Pattern changes. For e.g :- Ordinary Border is the Pattern of 100 pixels and the Pattern Style is Parallelograms of 20 pixels, then the Ordinary Border will be made up of many Parallelograms of 20 pixels. Filter will be filled inside the Parallelograms and not the Border.
