Evolutionary algorithms aided textile design

Fabric design has always been a matter of inspiration, depending mostly upon mans ingenuity and creativity. The authors suggest creation of fabric patterns using evolution algorithms, which can not only help in improving design created by man, but also make the procedure semi-automatic, meaning much less dependent upon the designer himself/herself. Evolution algorithm based software offers wide range of fabric patterns and is also able to create new ones based on the users choice. The procedure can also be of considerable help to proffesional designers as it can be offered patterns they would not or could not create themselves. The system described is inexpensive and can be used on IBM compatibile personal computers. It is user-friendly and can be implemented with no previous preparation on the part of the user.
