The Plaid Studio / What to create / Abstract
Abstract seamless pattern generator
Where the maths stops being a grid: curl flow, ridged fields, marbling, chladni plates and nodal figures. These are fields rather than motifs, so they carry scale better than anything else here — a detail of one is still the pattern.
Curl Flow — a streak motif, drawn by the GeoPrint engine 
Ridged Field — a ridge motif, drawn by the GeoPrint engine 
Chladni Plate — a nodal motif, drawn by the GeoPrint engine

What it is for
Scarves, linings, endpapers, wall art and any print that should not repeat visibly.
How to use it
- Open GeoPrint and pick the family, then the pattern — or describe what you want in a few words and let the engine choose.
- Put your palette on it. The inks come from the palette, so one pattern gives a whole range without redrawing anything.
- Set the repeat width in centimetres and check it against the ruler on the stage: what you see is the size it prints.
- Export a seamless tile as PNG or SVG, or an A4 sheet with a centimetre ruler for a printer.
Questions
How many abstract patterns are there?
18 in this family, listed above, out of 168 in the GeoPrint engine. Each one takes your palette, your scale and your repeat size, so the count is the starting point rather than the limit.
Are the patterns really seamless?
Yes, by construction: the pattern is sampled on a torus, so the tile meets itself exactly at every edge. Nothing is cropped or mirrored to fake a join.
Can I set the repeat size in centimetres?
Yes. The repeat width is a setting, the ruler along the stage measures it, and the export carries it — which is what a printer asks for.
What does it cost?
Looking is free on every plan. Exporting a GeoPrint tile is part of Pro and Studio; the free tier exports from the Sett engine, and no plan puts a watermark on a file.
