Generative Pattern Service

You can pick a specific color scheme, pattern, width, height, tilesize, and generate random patterns. You can also have a reference to a pattern you like that was generated by passing it a random seed.

Canvas Size

Width

sets the width of the generated canvas (if not passed into url the default is 500)
usage: width=700

Height

sets the height of the generated canvas (if not passed into url the default is 500)
usage: height: 500

Tile Size

sets height and width dimensions of "tiles" in canvas (if not passed into url the default is 53.33)
usage: tileSize=60

The Seed Param

provides an identifier or reference to a generated pattern. By default a seed=0 is passed to the url. Accessing a pattern url with a defined seed will always return the associated pattern unless the random param is set.

The Random Param

allows generation of random patterns everytime the user makes a request to the url (if not passed into url the default is false). If a parameter is not set such as pattern or color that will be randomized too
usage: random=true
