FOTOBLECH Software-News: Automatic Area Partitioning
Zoning. If the area to be processed is too large for a single sheet, it can be automatically divided into individual sections and generated in a single step.
The loaded image is automatically distributed across the individual areas.
Providing the relevant parameters such as the overall width and height of the area, spacing between panels, maximum panel size, any edge treatments, and component labeling, the partitioning is carried out. (Licensed manufacturer).

Floral pattern. An abstract floral pattern cascades over all parts so that the pattern runs continuously.

FOTOBLECH Special: Photo sheets with frame
Give your photo sheets a frame. A range of different frame shapes give visual support to the content.
The frame shape supports the desired expression, for example as a picture or fence panel.
The sheets themselves provide the frame for the sheets. The visually reduced evenness is maintained and not interrupted by uprights or substructures.
Example 1: Coten steel with "Gradient" pattern, jitter effect and frame "balcony01"
Example 2: Galvanised steel with floral pattern and "Balcony02" frame with vertical struts
FOTOBLECH-Railing in Vienna 22, Baranygasse
Generated pattern. A balcony railing from our "White Noise" pattern generator.
The square perforation runs in straight rows with only one hole size with a probability of 60%.
Made-to-measure unique items. All railing fields are calculated individually and the perforation fits exactly into the specified dimensions.
Although the fields are of different lengths in detail, the overall picture is homogeneous.
Motif collection: floral foliage
Floral motifs are very popular with us.
That is why we have put together 10 floral foliage motifs in a catalog.
With similar transparency and hole density, they are easy to compare.
All motifs on an area of 3 * 2m.

Transparency as desired
The transparency of the sheets can be controlled as desired.
Balcony railings are very typical here: In the lower area it should usually be denser than above.
We can control the transparency of the surface, whether from a photo template or generated by our pattern generator, see photos.
Our software also calculates the free area for each photo sheet.

It doesn't always have to be "just" a Fotoblech...
The results of our pattern generators can not only be used for photo sheets.
Numerous providers use the motifs for a wide variety of purposes:
Photo pillows, puzzles, towels, T-shirts and much more.
The output format PDF 1: 1 supports you optimally.
Here is the Pattern generator

Freely selectable line spacing
Normally, the line spacing results automatically from the selected hole spacing.
Now the distances can be freely selected and great effects can be achieved, as can be seen here in examples in combination with the "Jitter" function.

fit2pattern: What doesn't fit - is made to fit ...
Usually, repeating patterns do not fit exactly on the given area.
With the fit2pattern function, however, we can adapt the patterns exactly in both directions.
The drawn areas and lines remain sharply outlined.
