YARN IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS FOR MELANGE YARN, METHOD OF FORMING YARN IMAGE THEREWITH, AND PROGRAM THEREFOR

摘要

For formation of a yarn image of melange yarn, layers of image having multiple types of fibers of differentiated colors arranged randomly are piled one upon another into a stack of multiple layers. The degree of transparency is determined from the brightness of each of the fibers, and an image synthesis is carried out with respect to the image layers piled one upon another, thereby forming a yarn image of melange yarn. Thus, a yarn image can be formed without any test production of melange yarn. Further, there can be realized a real expression of texture sensation owing to vertical piling of differentiated colors.
