WeaveMaker User's Manual — Facts and Figures
Colorways
An individual colorway (one row across the colorway window) can contain up to 16 color chips. This means that WeaveMaker limits a fabric to 16 colors (total across warp and weft) in its color arrangement.

A single fabric cannot have more than 40 distinct colors, total, in all its colorways. This is the same as saying that the total number of unique colors which can appear in the colorway window is 40.

If a given color appears in several different colorways, it still only counts as one color.

A fabric can have up to 5 colorways (there can be up to 5 rows of color chips in the colorway window).

Designs
Up to 3 designs (designs) may be active at one time.

Ends, Picks
The number of ends or picks can be as few as 1 or as many as 1,000.

Note: special versions of WeaveMaker are available which can handle more than 1,000 ends or picks.

Harnesses
WeaveMaker handles any number of harnesses from 4 to 32.

Palettes
Up to 2 palettes may be active at one time. A palette may contain up to 72 screen colors. Note that the printer colors do not count to-wards this limit (in some strict sense, then, a palette might be said to contain up to 144 colors, counting both screen and printer colors). Permanent black and white count towards this limit (restricting you to 70 colors of your own creation).

HSL
WeaveMaker uses the standard numbering system for encoding colors as hue/saturation/lumens (HSL).

Each color component ranges from 0 to 65,535. White has a value (brightness) of 65,535 and a saturation of 0. Black has a value (brightness) of 0.

RGB
WeaveMaker uses the standard Macintosh numbering system for encoding colors as red/green/ blue (RGB).

Each color component ranges from 0 to 65,535. White has red, green, and blue all set to 65,535. Black has red, green, and blue set to 0.

Treadles
WeaveMaker handles any number of treadles from 4 to 32.
