Excel Rangoli

[smanjunath]

Dear Chandoo-ites,

My Mother-in-law is very creative and loves Designing Rangolis..(floral designs made with different colours and line drawings in rural Indian Households)
She was very pleased when I gave her printed sheets of blank rangoli templates (a matrix of dots evenly spaced and printed using a excel spreadsheet)
I was wondering, can we make some kind of charting program, in which by playing with some numbers in cells, a beautiful rangoli can be created ??

Food for thought for those excel creative minds...
Cheers!

Hi smanjunath,

I think you should google "weave design with Excel", this comes out for me.

Infect, you can use conditional formatting to develop such rangoli..

PS: Just encountered second question related to textile engineering

Hi Faseeh, Thanks for the reply.
Not exactly what i was looking for, but does gives an inspiration...
Please let me know if you come across something on the line drawing front. (Fill color is an added advantage)

something like this...
