help with repeating (tileable) image

**Kab_death** · 26 February 2010, 09:38 PM

hello i am trying to make an image that will repeat but i am stuck i have made a pattern but it wont repeat smoothly i need it to repeat horizontally i don't care about vertical repeat. How should i go about making this image into a repeatable pattern i have included an example .xar file that will better explain my issue and clearly shows an example image. ps i must add that the image must be transparent.

Is this what you are looking for?
I placed the letters behind your fractal pattern so you can see that the pattern is transparent.
If you want the .xar file I can post it for you.

here is a better example .xar file to explain my issue please look over the example at 100% zoom there are multiple examples in the file thanks again

ps i now also would like to make it repeat vertically thanks.

Why not create a 1440 x 480 object with the fractal plasma transparency?

This would eliminate the need to have it repeat as a tile. The fractal plasma algorithm would make a smooth image at that size.

the image is for a website background here is some

HTML Code:

<html>

<STYLE>

 body { background: url(bg.png);
        background-attachment: fixed;
        background-repeat: repeat;
      }

 </STYLE>

<html>

the image included is just an example of the pattern not repeating on website background just copy and past this code in the note pad and save as html then test the background

And why is your page size 3596.16pix x 2517.12pix as supplied in your opening posts's attachment?
I'm pretty sure that this size would exceed all standard widths for websites.
