Thanks, Larry.

Let me emphasize here that the Infobar cannot display a fractional amount for a potential tile, or Xara will anti-alias the difference in the fraction to the nearest whole number, blending the edge against the white of the document...and the result will be a visible seam when you go to tile the bitmap copy.

So: 450.3 pix by 226.1 pixels...not good.

but: 450 pixels by 226 pixels will get you there.

A seamless tile does'nt have to be square, but if you make a rectangle, each time you need to nudge horizontally or vertically, you need to set up a new nudge value that precisely matches the dimension of the rectangle...so square patterns are better (or at least easier).

And the "Magic Number" I used, 512, is only magic if you go back to when you could count memory or RAM. 256, 512, 768, 1024, and so on are integers that programmers and hard drive manufacturers and such use for sectors and blocks and you can probably dismiss this little fact now. You can make an 800 by 800 pixel pattern if you like and it will work if you follow this month's tutorial steps.

My Best, and let's see some pattern examples here,
