Generate Color Arrangement from Selection

The situation:
A sequence of different knitting rows results from yarn and yarn carrier fields drawn in neighboring. This knitting sequence can lead to undesired results.
You can specify the knitting sequence by arranging the knitting rows strategically.

The Color Arrangement from a selection is a proposal of the M1plus for the knitting sequence. With the selection, at first you determine the range and order of the colors in the Color Arrangement.
Using the control columns in the Color Arrangement, you determine the corresponding parameters of the different actions. The data from the CA control columns will not be overwritten by the M1plus afterwards.
The segments in the processing area will be applied to the pattern in the same way, the colors are present in the processing area from left to right and from bottom to top.
This means: The specifications of a segment can be overwritten by the subsequent segment (positioned at its right).

The Sintral Check checks whether a Color Arrangement can be knitted.

    2
