Abstract
A method of generating embroidery data for controlling stitching out by an embroidery machine. The method comprises simulating a position of a needle on an embroidery workspace and updating the needle position in response to an input control signal. A series of stitch time points is generated and embroidery data defining a stitch is generated. The data defining a stitch being dependent upon the needle position at a corresponding stitch time point and at a preceding stitch time point.
Claims41
A method of generating embroidery data for controlling stitching out by an embroidery machine, the method comprising the steps of:
- simulating a position of a needle on an embroidery workspace;
- updating the needle position in response to an input control signal;
- generating a series of stitch time points;
- and
- generating embroidery data defining a stitch, the data defining a stitch being dependent upon the needle position at a corresponding stitch time point and at a preceding stitch time point.
A computer readable medium having stored thereon computer-executable instructions that cause a computer to perform steps comprising:
- simulating a position of a needle on an embroidery workspace;
- updating the needle position in response to an input control signal;
- generating a series of stitch time points;
- and
- generating embroidery data defining a stitch, the data defining a stitch being dependent upon the needle position at a corresponding stitch time point and at a preceding stitch time point.
An apparatus arranged to execute a computer program that causes the apparatus to generate embroidery data for controlling stitching out by an embroidery machine, wherein execution of the computer program causes the apparatus to:
- simulate a position of a needle on an embroidery workspace;
- update the needle position in response to an input control signal;
- generate a series of stitch time points;
- and
- generate embroidery data defining a stitch, the data defining a stitch being dependent upon the needle position at a corresponding stitch time point and at a preceding stitch time point.
