Creating continuous patterns on batik cloth by computer graphics program for a prototype of hand-printing in Pasemas Sub-district, Su-ngai Kolok District Narathiwat

Abstract

Batik fabric patterns of Pasemas Sub-district, Su-ngai Kolok District Narathiwat were created by a computer graphics program for batik fabric display samples to the customers. Because of lacking display samples, the production did not meet customers’ requirements and had high costs. Thus, the entrepreneurs demand a prototype that can be adjusted in size, pattern, and color before the actual production. To this end, the researcher developed a specific method for simulating the continuous batik printing patterns. Hand-printing batik patterns were modeled by a computer graphics program. Entrepreneurs can then apply this technique in their productions in several ways. Examples are managing fabric size, collecting patterns’ models, designing motifs, choosing colors, and printing patterns to check before actual printings. The experiments show that the continuous batik patterns are effective, and the entrepreneurs are satisfied with the continuous batik patterns printed by a computer graphics program.
