<p>Upon entry into a graphic unit, in coded colors or color codes, of pattern information on a fabric to be knit on a flat knitting machine, as analyzed into units of pattern information, each unit representing one or two stitches formed by one or both of a pair of opposed needles, front and back, the units of pattern information are displayed on a graphic color monitor in the coded colors and in dots, one dot representing one unit of pattern information, and they are stored into storage means in a process unit. Units of pattern information so stored are read in sequential order of knitting and those for each knitting course are translated into pattern data for needle selection in each knitting course and/or into control data for controlling knitting, transfer, racking and the like operations in each knitting course. The pattern and/or control datas are recorded on a desired medium such as paper tape, magnetic tape or floppy desk.</p> |
