Artopik allows you to design patterns for cross-stitched embroidery. It has 6 examples of patterns preinstalled, which can be opened by clicking on the folder button or from the Embroidery menu with the open option (the program can open ART and VYS format files). At the home site there are many black & white, and color patterns. The import option allows you to import bmp and jpeg images in 17 or 250 colors (the color palette can be created automatically). Patterns can be exported in bmp format. In the Print set-up window you can customize your printings by selecting the size of the grid; the type of color printout: squares, circles, small crosses or black and white; page margins and select the grid color for every tenth and fifth line. After configuring your printout you can set up your printer. The pattern printout is adjusted automatically to be printed on several pages if it doesn't fit in one sheet of paper. You can create your own color palette or edit the existing one. The colors from the palette utilized in the pattern are shown at the bottom, where you can change them one by one. It has a slide bar for zoom in - zoom out and slide bars for moving horizontally and vertically in the pattern.
