Tools

· "Evaluate Image"
This tool allows you to evaluate an image to determine the aspect ratio (height to width ratio) required for your weave to maintain proportions. See Creating A New Project

· "Launch Colormap Utility"
This will launch the colormap utility.
Please note that any changes or additions to colors will not take effect until you shut down and re-start PicToWeave,
see Thread Colors for more information.

· "Export to Ms Excel"
This function will export your grid to a Microsoft^® Excel^®compatible file.
Ms Excel must be installed on the system.

· "Import Ms Excel Sheet"
This will import the default worksheet of a Microsoft^® Excel^®spreadsheet.
The import process will perform the following modifications.
1: All text contained in any cells in the spreadsheet will be deleted.
2: All white cells will be cleared. (If white is part of the pattern, change the white areas to another color before importing. You can then swap it to white after importing using the Exchange Colors tool in PicToWeave).

Please not only the cell colors of the spreadsheet will be imported. Do not use a spreadsheet that contains images, formulas or other special functions.

· "Recount thread colors used"
This tool will force the number of different thread colors is in the weave pattern to be recounted. The layer count and thread color list will be updated.
It is not normally necessary to do this as the count is updated in most functions that alter the thread color count. If you delete rows or columns and do not recount the colors at that time, the thread list and/or layer count may not be accurate until a count is done.
