The creation of points within the Seamly2D environment is fundamental for defining the geometry of pattern pieces. These points serve as anchors and intersections that establish the shape and size of the design. For example, a user might establish a point at the intended apex of a dart or at the termination of a curved seam line.
Accurate placement of these geometric locations is crucial for ensuring precise pattern construction and a well-fitting final garment. Historically, pattern drafting relied on manual measurements and hand-drawn lines. The digital approach streamlines this process, reducing errors and allowing for easier modifications. The ability to accurately define these locations is the cornerstone of computer-aided pattern design.
